Problem-based learning and technology support for students in higher education investigates the new perspectives of education in connection with the change of life paradigm. The present research seeks to find out what study methods and technology support can be used for developing students' creative experience in the context of education for sustainable development. The research provides an analysis of the main concepts revealing the essence of the study process. The opportunities of using information technology in the study process to meet the needs of students' research activities in the form of cooperative learning are described. The research is based on Dewey and Brunner's theory as a basis of the educational process in the modern world of technologies. Developing creative experiences is a basic concept for sustainable development of education in today's information society.
