The article reveals the concept of individualization and differentiation of curriculum content in a real and virtual learning environment. It examines how the virtual learning environment (EDUKA class) features the ability to personalize and differentiate tasks, use digital textbooks and virtual material, provide and receive feedback, monitor progress and learning outcomes, and help to individualize and differentiate the content of elementary education at school. In order to evaluate the use of the core functions of the virtual teaching environment “EDUKA class” – working with groups, tasks and lesson material, feedback and learning outcomes and tracking progress - to differentiate and personalize the content of primary education, a quantitative survey was conducted - a written survey of respondents. It took place in 2017 from June to August, 109 Lithuanian primary school teachers were actively interviewing the virtual learning environment “EDUKA class” in the learning process. Data received by respondents in response to closed questions were analyzed by the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 17.0 program. Descriptive statistics used for quantitative survey processing. The qualitative analysis (i. e. content analysis) was used to analyze the answers to open questions in the questionnaire. The results of the research showed that in the virtual teaching environment “EDUKA class”, the teacher quickly and comfortably divides students into homogeneous groups according to their talents, progress, inclinations, interests. Based on the individual differences of pupils, the teacher creates open-ended tasks and closed-ended tests in accordance with the complexity of the group’s students. Conducts teaching materials (files, links) created and used in the educational process. Environment The “EDUKA class” facilitates teacher work by differentiating learning content, monitoring student learning outcomes and progress by providing feedback to students and their parents.

This paper examines the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in relation to its implication for academic libraries in the 21st century. It sheds light on how technological development has had major impacts in the academic library, with regards to how information is being constructed, transmitted and accessed by library users. In the course of this discourse it was deduced that students constitute a significant percentage of the academic library users. The technological development in the academic sphere has enabled ubiquitous interactions between students and teachers, in which students are enabled to learn and communicate with their teachers from remote locations, thus inducing the notion of VLE. The VLE is regarded as technological-based environment where learners are enabled to access learning outside the classroom. With the aid of VLE students are granted ownership of their learning process, thus ensuring positive learning outcomes. Finally, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was employed to serve as the theoretical basis of this discourse.

The article is focused on the concept of «virtual learning environment» and its role in the students’ independ-ent work. The virtual learning environment as a means of effective communication of participants in the edu-cational process helps to transit from the «knowledge-based» paradigm to the «personality-oriented» educa-tion, aimed to develop students’ creative potential, their cognitive activity, motivation and engagement at the language classes. The authors highlight that in addition to traditional didactic requirements, there are a num-ber of specific conditions for the successful functioning in the virtual learning environment. Based on the ex-perience of implementing virtual educational environments, a need for the adaptability of educational process, which implies the possibility for students to choose the most appropriate individual pace for studying materi-al. It is shown that specific content of the virtual learning environment may vary depending on the level of training students and their individual interests. The main requirement for the successful use of the virtual en-vironment is to develop creative cognitive abilities, foreign languages skills of students by the application of a virtual environment., so the authors come to the conclusion that the presence of informational technology in the learning process changes the internal specifics of the educational and cognitive activities of students, their thinking style, and psychological mechanisms of mental development. Thus, the independent work of stu-dents is multi-purpose and is aimed to achieve communicative and educational goals.

One of the hallmarks of the learning process is its manageability, which provides for the possibility of planning and designing the educational process. The article deals with practical issues related to the administration of the University Virtual Learning Environment in terms of organization and differentiation of access rights of different categories of users. The authors discuss the principles of administering a virtual learning environment in terms of distinguishing levels of access to individual elements of the system for different roles of different categories of users. In LMS Moodle, the list of hierarchical contexts is as follows: System (no parent context); Website – homepage (parent context – system); Course category (parent context – system); Course (parental context – course category or system); Course element (parent context – course); Block (parent context – system or course); User (parent context – system). In the Lviv Polytechnic University, only Super Administrator, Global Group Management, Methodist, and Library have global roles. Role assignments are performed to determine the role in context. The site (homepage) and course are examples of two different contexts. While the role assignment process is the same for different contexts, the path to the assignment page may be different. The article gives examples of how to organize a system of administration with a description of the processes of creating different types of roles and the logic of implementation of each role and the need for certain approaches. There are five types of roles in the article, namely: managerial, supervisory, training, informational, temporary, providing justification and practical advice on setting up each role for each type. The article describes a common responsibility matrix for each user role. The roles of management roles are different aspects of course administration at the level of course categories of different types of nesting. This type includes administrators. The role of the controlling role is, by name, to investigate the various aspects of educational and training activities within the VNS system. The objectives of the learning roles are to ensure and carry out the learning process itself. These roles include, first of all, the system role by default – the student, the main participant in the process of acquiring knowledge, passing checkpoints and other components of the educational process. The tasks of information roles are to create information messages for both students and teachers at different levels of the information system. Temporary role tasks are to involve third parties in the system. Of course, the guest is first and foremost, but in our case guest entry is forbidden, so the roles of Conference Participant and Olympiad Participant were created to provide access to individual system resources. The article describes a common responsibility matrix for each user role.

During construction for development and design documentation`s presentation takes more time, than directly designing. Therefore, actual mean is a execution`s automation of design documentation with using computer graphics. Computer Graphics is a knowledge base for creating, processing, and storing models of geometric shapes and their graphic images by using a computer. A characteristic development`s feature of modern production is its automation, one of the main components which are the systems of automated design (CAD). Those of them that are focused only on solving specific problems, for example, in the production of design documentation, are called local systems. At present, there are many software systems of computer design of varying complexity and purpose. One of the most commonly used graphical system is the AutoCAD. In creating architectural and construction drawings, the process of constructing a plan and cutting the construction site requires a considerable amount of time. Therefore, the using AutoCAD graphical system is relevant for quick and high-quality execution of this work. The method of step-by-step application of AutoCAD commands was developed by the authors for building boundaries of earthworks, horizontals with numeric labels, and also for determining the boundaries of earthworks for excavation and embankment of the site. The squares`s grid of the slopes and the linear scale of the drawing are crossed out is used to be given by the variant of the ratio, for the option for simplifying the construction. Similar construction is also used to construct a ramp (access road). In addition, the process of constructing lines of intersection of slopes with each other and with a topographic surface, as well as the process of building the profile of the area and profile of the construction site is shown in the work. After using each of the current AutoCAD commands for demonstration its execute, are given illustration of successive steps for  creating a drawing of construction site. The performed work involves the preparation of material for methodically filling the course of computer graphics in a virtual environment, has relevance in the educational process. The results of the presented work are used in the sections of the teaching manual for students of engineering and construction specialties and in the virtual learning environment at the Higher School.
