The main purpose of this chapter is to give information about the Distance Education System at Anadolu University (DESA), which has nearly two million students from diverse backgrounds. By the 1990s, the number of people of postgraduate age employed in Turkey had gradually increased to over 60 percent. The shortage of funds for educational services such as adequate classroom spaces and well-qualified instructors was already creating difficulties across the country.

In this context, Anadolu University made provocative recommendations in 1982, defended the Distance Education system as the most appropriate milieu for the continuous education of the postgraduate students of Turkey, established the first College of Open Education in Turkey, and became one of the mega universities in the world. In short, the founding fathers of the Distance Education System of Anadolu University were able to critically analyze new priorities and needs in the area by just thinking big!

Morocco was the first to take a set of precautionary measures aimed at curbing the spread of the virus, especially when it was found that the cases that had been discovered were all coming from abroad. The goal was not to allow the virus to infect residents of the homeland by closing the air, land and sea borders. This contributed to limiting the number of local cases without permanently canceling the occurrence of this matter. In line with the same proactive policy adopted by the state, several measures have been taken aimed at implementing the principle of social separation, which was mainly manifested in the application of quarantine to citizens. The school, which is attended by about a third of Moroccan citizens, has been decided to close since March 16, 2020, fearing that it constitutes hotbeds of the spread of the virus that are difficult to control, given the schools represent spaces for intense gathering of children and adults alike, which may provide an appropriate environment for the pandemic to spread between School population. According to UNESCO, as of April 21, 2020, 191 countries have closed their schools, outnumbering more than a billion and a half students involved in this procedure, which represents 90.2% of the total number of learners internationally. As for Morocco, it was affected by the decision to close schools 8.943.156 Moroccan students, which is equivalent to the total of learners at all levels of education at the national level. And like the rest of the world, Morocco has adopted distance learning as a solution to face the interruption of studies in educational institutions, and a digital platform has been designated for this purpose.

Many countries in 2020 have decided to use distance learning as the only way to continue the educational process without interrupting it indefinitely. Distance learning today is one of the most effective and promising training systems. The emergence and active spread of distance learning is anadequate response of the education systems of many countries to the processes of integration taking place in the world, the movement towards the information society.Purpose. The purpose of this article is to systematize various aspects of distance education in institutions of the maritime sector of Ukraine in a global pandemic and to find solutions to issues that arise during the development of distance education and training of maritime professionals; identification of positive and negative aspects of the introduction of distance learning.Methods. To solve the problem, the following methods were used: the method of theoretical generalization, the method of analysis and synthesis, the method of systematization, the method of deduction.Results. The analysis of the results of distance learning in maritime institutions was carried out and its strengths and weaknesses were identified. The ways of improving the quality of distance education are analyzed. Further ways of development and improvement of distance learning are proposed.Originality. The basis of the educational process in distance learning is the controlled, intensive and purposeful independent work of a student who can study in a place convenient for himself, according to an individual schedule. In accordance with this, the educational process should be organized in such a way as to ensure the student's independent mastering of the educational material, the implementation and timely deli-very of individual assignments.Output. The main problem of training applicants for higher education in the maritime sector of Ukraine in a pandemic in distance education is the lack of opportunity for cadets to gain practical skills in working with ship equipment that exists in educational institutions. This negatively affects the quality of learning by cadets. In the future, this may lead to increased ship accidents and reduced maritime safety. It is necessary to develop interaction between educational institutions; make full use of technological opportunities; determine the goals and prospects for the development of distance learning, etc.Keywords:distance learning, quality of education, maritime institute, management of marine resources, ship accident rate, pandemic.
