В статье анализируются проблемы внедрения электронного и дистанционного обучения в сельских школах России. На примере Томской области анализируется уровень и качество электронного и дистанционного обучения, выделяются основные модели их применения; предлагается проект организации единой образовательной площадки с распределенными муниципальными центрами. В тоже время у учителей недостаточно сформированы навыки организации электронного обучения, оценки качества образования средствами специальных программ, создания и использования представлений о математических объектах и процессах, конструирования объемных моделей на компьютере (с помощью 3D принтера), визуализации данных, отношений, процессов, обработки данных статистики и др. Длительные локдауны, введенные в результаты пандемии, заставили всех педагогов пересмотреть свое отношение к процессам информатизации системы образования. Остро встал вопрос не только о компетентности педагога, оказавшегося не готовым к качественному осуществлению учебного процесса с использованием современных коммуникационных возможностей, но и вопросы управления образовательным процессом, использования средств и технологий электронного обучения. The article analyzes the problems of the introduction of electronic and distance learning in rural schools in Russia. Using the example of the Tomsk region, the level and quality of electronic and distance learning are analyzed, the main models of their application are highlighted; a project for organizing a unified educational platform with distributed municipal centers is proposed. At the same time, teachers have insufficiently developed skills in organizing e-learning, evaluating the quality of education by means of special programs, creating and using representations of mathematical objects and processes, constructing three-dimensional models on a computer (using a 3D printer), visualizing data, relationships, processes, processing statistics data, etc. The long lockdowns introduced in the results of the pandemic forced all teachers to reconsider their attitude to the processes of informatization of the education system. There was an acute question not only about the competence of a teacher who was not ready for the qualitative implementation of the educational process using modern communication capabilities, but also issues of educational process management, the use of e-learning tools and technologies.

The problem and the aim of the study. New challenges and requirements of society and the state to the e-education system necessitate the formation of students' skills for active information interaction and cognitive activity in the digital space. The authors propose to use cloud services for organizing the educational process, e-learning participants integration and communication, expanding didactic tools and improving the quality of graduate training in the electronic educational environment. Research methods. The main methods are theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization of fundamental scientific works on the research problem, processing of the results of control events and the content of the Google Classroom cloud service (assigned tasks, announcements, instructions, links to additional resources). The pedagogical experiment involved 52 students (35% of girls and 65% of boys) from the Law Institute of Vyatka State University. The G sign criterion is used as a statistical processing method. Results. The features of the organization of e-learning in a digital school have been formulated to enhance information interaction based on the use of cloud technologies through the Google Classroom service: the integration of students and teachers into a single information and educational space, expanding the possibilities of learning and communication; "synchronization" of educational and cognitive activities in different digital resources; the orientation of the service content to the peculiarities of the modern student’s perception, the ability to work in the format of mobile applications activates cognitive interest, research activities and communication practice are supported. The empirical value Gemp=3<Gcr=10 (for p=0.01) obtained during the experiment confirms that the shift towards improving the quality of educational results after using the Google Classroom cloud service is not accidental. Conclusion. The use of cloud services in organizing information interaction in the e-learning system will improve the quality of educational results while providing a set of conditions: enhancing cognition, connecting students to information interaction in new ways, expanding the boundaries of the educational environment, modifying the roles of participants in the didactic process, and using mobile applications.

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.

The article reveals the positive and negative aspects of the development of domestic guitar education in terms of distance learning. Applying the methods of historical and pedagogical analysis and a systematic approach, the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine were analyzed, which considered this area of development of the educational process and scientific works of guitar researchers. It is determined that the standards of higher education in the specialty 025 «Musical Arts» do not specify the quality of computer and software. It has been found that students, teachers, and heads of educational institutions from time to time face the issue of updating computer equipment to implement a quality educational process. It is proved that when using the software «Zoom» or «Skype» for group practical classes, a small error in the work of the Internet can lead to desynchronization in the work of the music group. It is highlighted that professions related to training, individual services, and creativity will remain relevant, as they cannot be replaced by automated systems even with the use of artificial intelligence; «the introduction of distance learning tools in schools is positive, in particular the use of the Microsoft Teams for Education Center, which includes the following options: downloading materials, storing and sharing them; possibility to add electronic textbooks / educational games; placement of announcements, digests for all participants of the educational process», etc.; negative aspects of the development of domestic guitar education in terms of distance learning are the lack of live contact between teacher and student, the inability to visually adjust the performance movements (left and right hand, artistic gestures, etc.); the ability of the mentor to remove the mental and physiological clamp from the performer is lost; slow internet connection speed and low quality of computer components can hinder a quality educational process and others. In terms of distance learning, domestic guitar education has changed the vector of its development. Users of Internet resources became the target audience of performing guitar art, and music education of guitarists received new opportunities for improvement. However, there are still factors that hinder the full implementation of positive changes. We consider the following to be the main ones: the lack of live communication between the teacher and the student, the unstable speed of the Internet connection in some regions of Ukraine and the low quality of computer components among some participants in the educational process.

E-learning is a learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources (Asad et al., 2020). The article is devoted to the consideration of the idea of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in the system of education and the analysis of new concepts and approaches of school education developed in methodological science, taking into account their influence on the motivation of school students to learn English language. The revitalization of the educational activity has always been one of the primary tasks of teaching in general. The CLIL methodology is compared with the ESP and EMI methodologies. This learning model does not imply a complete rejection of traditional teaching methods and combines both the advantages of face-to-face studies (contact with a teacher, group methods of work, language and speech practice, the possibility of feedback) and the advantages of distance learning (an individual approach, differentiation of learning, ample opportunities for the implementation of project activities, optimization of independent work, the formation of language and speech skills and abilities. Modern teaching aids, including e-distance learning tools, provide teachers with ample opportunities for implementing a competency-based approach, providing a comprehensive all-around development of a school student's personality through the subjects studied. With the help of distance educational technologies, it is possible not only to shift a number of routine pedagogical actions onto the shoulders of a computer but also to organize high-quality, individual, differentiated education. The article presents strong theoretical information about CLIL and its importance. Also, the article contains results of qualitative research with conducted questionnaires among school students in grades 10-11 of a general education school.

The online form of implementation of educational programs in a higher education institution should not affect the quality of competencies of a future graduate. For future successful employment and professional activity, an IT graduate should have skills and work styles associated with the application of modern software development technologies underlying the agile methodology. The goal of the study is to present an approach to introducing the ideas of the agile methodology into the educational process of a future IT specialist in the context of distance learning, comparing the possibilities of implementing two popular technologies of agile methodology – scrum and kanban, using the example of the Moodle distance learning system. To achieve this goal, the authors applied the following methods: the collection and analysis of scientific publications related to the study of features of agile technologies; the possibilities of their application in the educational process; monitoring the work of students according to agile methodology approaches when using the Moodle distance learning system. The analysis and observation of the students’ work allowed concluding on the possibility of introducing the methodology into the educational process carried out remotely using a distance learning system. The authors formulated recommendations on the application of distance learning tools for introducing the agile technologies in the learning process, in particular, the concept of distance course using the example of the Moodle online learning system, variants of the course objects settings, ways of evaluating the students’ work. The study shows that Moodle distance learning system acts as a virtual space where students interact as team members, implement project activities according to scrum and kanban approaches, using such course elements as a checklist, assignment, forum, and chat.
