Introduction. In  the context of  rapid digitalisation in  education, there is  a growing need for effective training for teachers in the use of modern technologies. The relevance of this research is driven by the necessity to develop effective strategies for enhancing teachers’ qualifications in digital technologies. 

Aim. The aim of the study is to analyse the effectiveness of online workshops as a form of professional development for teachers in the context of developing digital skills. 

Methods. The research is based on the analysis of the University-School Cluster in the Perm branch of  the National Research University Higher School of  Economics (HSE University), where a personalised form of professional development for teachers in online workshops was implemented using a special digital platform. Three online workshops were organised for professional development in the area of ‘Digital Technologies and Tools in  Teacher’s Activities’: for teachers of  History and Social Studies, English and Mathematics. 

Results. Cluster participants successfully created and applied digital educational products (DEPs) in  their teaching practice. The positive impact of  using digital technologies on the quality of education was noted. Scientific novelty. 

The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development and testing of  a comprehensive approach to  enhancing teachers’ digital literacy, based on the use of online workshops within the framework of the university-school cluster. 

Practical significance. The results of  the study can be  used in  the development of advanced training programmes for teachers in the field of digital technologies.
