II Международный конгресс ЮНЕСКО «Образование и информатика» (1996) и «Окинавская хартия Глобального информационного общества» (2000) объявили информационные технологии стратегическим ресурсом в образовании. Революционные воздействия этих документов напрямую относились к жизни людей, их образованию и работе. И вот сейчас в 2021 году актуализировалась потребность использования информационных технологий в образовании для содействия и помощи студентам шире использовать свой потенциал и реализовывать свои устремления в эпоху пандемии COVID-19. В связи с этим для укрепления студенческого потенциала необходимо уделять особое внимание высшему образованию и одновременно расширять возможность пожизненного обучения с упором на развитие навыков использования информационных технологий через систему дистанционных образовательных технологий. Информационные технологии обучения – это совокупность электронных средств компьютера, компьютерных сетей, компьютерных телекоммуникаций, других средств связи и способов их функционирования, используемых для реализации образовательного процесса. Все эти средства должны эффективно работать не только для непосредственной информатизации учебного процесса, но и для информатизации всего комплекса процессов, характерных для системы высшего образования. Помимо расширения традиционной технической помощи для эффективного функционирования дистанционного обучения, необходимо содействовать подготовке специалистов в сфере информационных технологий и разрабатывать инновационные подходы. В статье анализируются проблема применения дистанционных образовательных технологий в системе высшего образования России. Авторы рассматривают информатизацию высшего образования с его достоинствами и недостатками с учетом собственного опыта преподавания, а также ставят вопрос о необходимости развития дистанционного обучения, повышения его эффективности и дальнейших перспективах. The II UNESCO International Congress "Education and Informatics" (1996) and the Okinawa Charter of the Global Information Society (2000) declared information technology a strategic resource in education. The revolutionary effects of these documents directly related to people's lives, their education and work. And now, in 2021, the need to use information technologies in education has become more urgent to promote and help students use their potential more widely and realize their aspirations in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, in order to strengthen student potential, it is necessary to pay special attention to higher education and at the same time expand the possibility of lifelong learning with an emphasis on the development of information technology skills through a system of distance learning technologies. Information technologies of education is a set of electronic computer tools, computer networks, computer telecommunications, other means of communication and ways of their functioning used for the implementation of the educational process. All these tools should work effectively not only for the direct informatization of the educational process, but also for the informatization of the entire complex of processes characteristic of the higher education system. In addition to expanding traditional technical assistance for the effective functioning of distance learning, it is necessary to promote the training of specialists in the field of information technology and develop innovative approaches. The article analyzes the problem of the use of distance learning technologies in the higher education system of Russia. The authors consider the informatization of higher education with its advantages and disadvantages, taking into account their own teaching experience, and also raise the question of the need to develop distance learning, improve its effectiveness and future prospects.

Introduction. The modern development of information and communication technologiesand the current epidemiological situation have led to the widespread use of distance educational technologies. The article presents the results of a statistical analysis of the data obtained during the hygienic assessment of the characteristics of the lifestyle and activity of students in the period of active introduction of forms and methods of distance education.Material and methods. An online survey of 498 students in 2019 during the period of traditional education and 1587 students in April 2020 during the implementation of the educational process in the distance format was conducted. The coordinator of the work was the Department of Hygiene of the Pediatric Faculty of the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow.Results. The obtained data allows talking about the negative impact of electronic devices on the lifestyle of students. A significant increase in the time of the use of gadgets (almost twice) and their number (2-4) when transferring the educational process to a remote format is proved. In general, the use of stationary and mobile electronic devices in more than 50% of respondents amounted to five hours or more. A decrease in the quality characteristics of the lifestyle of students in higher education during the transition to distant education has been established, while more than a third of them do not realize this. As risk factors, a decrease in motor activity, visual impairment, neuropsychic stress, poor nutrition, etc. In the absence of direct contact with university teachers, the opportunities for creating healthy lifestyle skills within the university are reduced and the importance of teachers as an authoritarian influence and a personal example for students is reduced.Conclusion. Informatization and the introduction of distance learning technologies in the higher education system require comprehensive studies of the advantages and disadvantages of such a learning format. The forced mass introduction of distance learning technologies in the educational process has exposed many problems that have not yet been given sufficient attention and, in the future, they can become the basis for promising research in the field of educational hygiene. The results obtained suggest that modern students do not pay enough attention to their lifestyle in the period of the distant education.

The introduction of quarantine restrictions in the world has led to restrictions on many industries of both economic and social spheres of life. Education has not become an exception. The need to level the large number of students necessitated the search for alternative ways of organising educational and pedagogical processes. This is especially an issue for higher education institutions. Higher education institutions train specialists for many sectors of the economy and a significant break in the educational process due to quarantine restrictions could lead to a real collapse of the higher education system. This necessitates the search for ways to transform the pedagogical process in higher education institutions and the introduction of alternative mechanisms and methods of organising the educational process. The purpose of the study was to investigate the ways of transformation of the pedagogical process in higher education during the quarantine. A systematic algorithm for studying the transformation of the pedagogical process in conditions of quarantine and quarantine restrictions in higher education has been developed. The advantages and disadvantages of distance learning technologies of higher education have been identified. The main features of such remote technologies as Moodle, Google Classroom, and Zoom are analysed.

The present article considers the results of implementing the distance learning technologies at Vinnytsia National Pirogov Memorial Medical University in the process of mastering the discipline "Internal Medicine". Today, the amount of information that is so necessary for obtaining, understanding and mastering knowledge is growing rapidly. Given the current pace of development of education, today it is quite important to find innovative forms of quality organization of the educational process. This led to the introduction of information technology in education and the formation of a separate type of learning - distance learning. Now in Ukraine, distance learning is widely developing at all levels of education, this makes it possible to individualize the process of acquiring knowledge, abilities, skills and methods of human cognitive activity, which occurs mainly through the indirect interaction of participants in the educational process distant from each other in a specialized environment, functioning based on modern information and communication technologies.

High competition in the educational service market and the necessity to provide advanced level of quality in training of specialists require introducing into traditional educational form a new format based on information technologies and interactive methods of educational process by research and educational staff of higher education institution. The specific of MOODLE using for distance learning during the quarantine COVID-19 is considered and its advantages and disadvantages for training management and administration specialists are discussed in the article. The questionnaire which was carried out by authors among students of the Accounting and Finance Faculty of the Centralukrainian National Technical University in terms of their attitude about LMS MOODLE use for distance training during spring semester of 2019–2020 academic year students shows the next results: Most of the students had a positive attitude to distance learning – 48,3 %, negative – 34,5 %, neutral – 17,2 %. From students prospective the main advantages were the opportunity to study and work at the same time (32.4 %) to plan more flexible study schedule (29.7 %). Existence of such negative situation as wish to cheat while performing tests and tasks in MOODLE. Difficulties for lecturers to control stand-alone basis tests and tasks performance by students. The main problem was the independent study of lectures and practical tasks by students without teachers’ support. To improve the effectiveness of training asynchronous Moodle or Google Classroom platforms and learning sessions in Zoom, Meet, Skype, etc should be combined. This approach allows visualizing educational material with presentations and simplifying training materials by students, as well as expanding opportunities for students with special educational needs to obtain professions in management and administration.
