Introduction. The modern system of domestic higher education is designed to flexibly respond to the challenges of the modern world, one of which is the possibility of obtaining knowledge through distance learning. The use of electronic services in this process, acting as an online and offline learning tool, actualizes the urgent need to develop in a digital environment a high-quality content of academic disciplines that meets the requirements of educational standards in various areas of training of future subject teachers, primary school teachers, preschool educational institution teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, defectologists. At the same time, it is important to assess all the risks that can devalue the physical, moral and material costs of organizing the educational process in the e-learning system from both teachers and support service specialists and the university as a whole.Materials and Methods. The paper uses a descriptive method based on the study and systematization of survey data of pedagogical university students of different directions and training profiles for several years. The respondents were full-time and part-time students. The data collection tool was the e-learning service of Minin University.Results. The analysis of respondents' answers to questions about the pros and cons of distance learning in the system of electronic information educational environment of the pedagogical university allowed us to draw some conclusions about the existence of both positive and negative consequences of the implementation of distance learning, which threaten the psychological safety of participants in the educational process.Discussion and Conclusions. Taking into account the fact that the creation of an e-learning system at Minin University is a large-scale project of modernization of the higher education system, during the implementation of which, since 2012, some experience has already been accumulated that requires reflection, today we can talk about the possibility of considering this electronic information educational environment as minimizing the risks of distance learning through electronic services. Further work in the direction of optimizing the work of the e-learning system of the pedagogical university, including working out the strategy of the "individual educational route" of each student, including assistance to students with special educational needs, should certainly be carried out from the position of involving students in assessing the opportunities and difficulties of working in an electronic educational environment.

Modern higher education (including pharmaceutical) is inextricably linked with the use of new information and communication technologies in the educational process. In the current conditions, the question arose about the implementation of educational programs in accordance with the federal state educational programs of higher education with the help of mixed (hybrid) training, which involves a combination of traditional (full-time) and distance learning. One of the forms of e-learning used as part of hybrid learning is Learning Management Systems (LMS), created on the basis of Internet technologies. LMS MOODLE is most often used in Russian universities. At Kursk State Medical University, the LMS MOODLE system has been actively used for many years as a platform for distance learning in the organization of continuing medical education courses. At the Faculty of Pharmacy, LMS MOODLE was used in organizing and conducting training practices in botany. To organize and conduct practical training in the LMS MOODLE system, a training course «Educational field practice in botany» was created. For each day, separate sections were organized, in which the necessary information for students was placed. In general, the following LMS MOODLE elements were used to create a training course on educational practice: «SCORM Package», «Test», «Task», «Hyperlink», «File», «Folder», «Forum», «Chat». Analysis of the use of LMS MOODLE showed that this system can be used quite successfully for the organization of the educational process as an element of e-learning and allows you to control the assimilation of educational material.

This qualitative study is an investigation and assessment of distance learning in Morocco during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research surveyed 3037 students and 231 professors enrolled in different stages of higher education programs. It aims to investigate the limitations of e-learning platforms and how these activities take place at public and private Moroccan universities during the coronavirus confinement. For this purpose, two structured questionnaires were constructed by researchers from different specialties, and the type of data was based on the responses of students and professors from 15 universities. In this paper, we have used three methods: descriptive analysis, regression analysis, and qualitative response analysis. As a data analytics tool, Microsoft Power BI was used to analyze data, visualize it, and draw insights. In this study, both professors and students stated that online learning is not more interesting than ordinary learning and professors need to provide at least 50% of their teaching in face-to-face mode. Recommendations at teaching and technical levels, such as the need for technical support and training in the use of these tools, were provided to enhance and promote distance education in Morocco. The contribution of this paper comes as a result of data analysis obtained from a survey conducted in some famous Moroccan universities.

AbstractThe picture storybooks have gone through a major transformation since their modern versions appeared in the 1950si. Modern and postmodern picture story books “have a great potential with their flexibility, based on a great variety of picture-text interplay, a wide range of themes, richness of aims and functions” (Bobulová, et al., 2003, p. 88-89). In the online distance learning course, education will be carried out on the basis of interaction between the learner and material (stored and exchanged in Moodle Platform, for instance), and between other participants in the educational process, that is, the instructor and other learners. The advantage of teaching children’s literature, especially picture story books, via E-learning platforms, is twofold: firstly, readers take their time to go through the reading materials and work on their own; secondly, it gives them space and time to prepare for the task assigned by the instructor appropriately and effectively by paying close attention to all the details, which, due to shortage of time allocated in face-to-face education (classroom environment) would be impossible. This paper presents not only advantages of such learning, but also sample tasks learners may encounter while participating in the online distance learning.

The experience and perspective of application of "on-line" technologies in the process of providing educational services by higher educational institutions are considered. The possibility of their progressive combination with the "offline" format of work is noted. It is discussed using modern information technologies in "on-line" and "off-line" lecture formats. A number of aspects of the presentation of lecture material in "on-line" and "off-line" forms are highlighted. Attention is paid to the use of presentations and interactive forms of work with the audience in both forms of lectures. The rationality of the application of the main form of lecture in the "off-line" format for full-time education is substantiated. The possibilities of its combination with lectures in the "on-line" format are noted. Attention is paid to great opportunities of "on-line" education in higher education (including "on-line" lectures) in distance learning and in the provision of second higher education.
