The article deals with the main strategies, methods and objectives of synchronous and asynchronous E-Learning Modes from a scientific and practical point of view. A detailed description of the synchronous and asynchronous online-learning at different historical stages is presented. The task of the distance education in light of the trends of modern society and its role in the implementation of professional and social aspirations of an student is shown. The basic problems of contemporary ICT, the difference and peculiarities of the synchronous and asynchronous methods of e-communication are determined. The general tendencies, content, sources, means, forms and methods of ICT implementation in terms of strict quarantine circumstances are highlighted. Certain ICT tools implemented by higher educational establishments to provide distance learning in the educational institutions are defined. The key ways of overcoming the contradictions that arise in the path of self-improvement of a student in the present are called. The application of ICT tools by the teaching staff as an essential and effective instrument to modernize the educational process is emphasized. Online-learning environments, namely synchronous and asynchronous ones, essential to provide distance education, are mentioned. Various forms of interaction involved in synchronous and asynchronous modes are pointed out. The current practices of synchronous and asynchronous e-learning/teaching in English language are established. The results of the case study of the effectiveness of a/synchronous environments towards better English language learning are evaluated. The analysis of the strategy used in distance learning is presented. The leading instruments and tools for synchronous and asynchronous online-learning are stressed on. The description of "high degree of interactivity" between participants who are separated from each other geographically and in time by asynchronous learning environments is provided. The basic measures for the introduction of distance learning technologies in the educational institution, which do not contradict the principles of pedagogy, but supplement and promote the development of the process of education, are formulated. The preferences of students as for methods used during remote education are noted. Basic challenges for teachers, institutions, and students, provided by both synchronous and asynchronous modes of distance learning, are described.

The expansion of computer networks has at the same time given impetus to the distance learning environments. E-learning systems are also advanced and more efficient. However, these platforms offer such complex teaching functionalities that designers find themselves poorly equipped to succeed in their engineering processes. This article presents a tool that makes it easier for designers to produce educational content according to the Competency-Based Approach (CBA). We propose an implementation of the CBA after its modeling via ontology. Our module can be grafted to any author system oriented pedagogy based skills. We have advocated for Service for Oriented Architecture as a software solution to model our business process that consists of a set of interconnected services that are modeled and implemented. The proposed system is the result of a coordina-tion of, services, incorporating the order of competences explained by a distance education, which integrates and interacts according to an orchestration plan.

The changes taking place in the postindustrial society impose requirements on the introduction of fast and cheap ways of generating and transferring knowledge. E-learning seems to be the tool that can solve this serious problem of modern society in the context of digitalization. The catalyst for the development of open education is the crisis that the system of traditional higher education is currently experiencing. In the study carried out by the authors, the crisis processes in modern higher education have been studied and the existing tendencies to overcome them have been identified. Based on the analysis of the essence of open education, its strengths and the problem field, the authors concluded that the research of the collaboration of online and offline education and management of this system becomes a priority within the framework of the problem under study, which contributes to the innovative nature of the development of higher education. schools. According to the authors, it is the collaboration of online and offline education that will solve a large number of methodological, organizational, and financial problems arising in distance learning. At the same time, in order to use the advantages of online learning, such as mobility, convenience, maximum personalization, openness and accessibility, lower cost, remote work performance, it seems necessary to change the conditions and opportunities for interaction between participants in the educational process.

The Relationship

2020 was a truly revolutionary year in terms of education – from the paradigm of predominantly traditional education, we had to rapidly “step” into a distance format, regardless of our desire and readiness. In 2020 two tectonic shifts happened at once: the shift from synchronous offline classes (education) to synchronous online and then from synchronous formats to asynchronous and mixed. In addition to issues related to the technical support of the educational process, the issue related to the development of new professional and pedagogical principles and rules that would contribute to the highly moral behavior and activities of the teacher in creating a comfortable environment for all participants of distance learning process, emphasizing that ethical requirements must reflect the relationship between teachers and learners. We conducted a research aimed at revealing the principles and values the teachers consider crucial to follow when conducting online classes, the skills they think they need master in order to raise the level of their professional expertise, improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes, and make their students self-confident and independent. The results of the survey can be used in designing special courses devoted to professional or pedagogical ethics in online learning.

Online learning can be seen as a form of distance education. Though online education is relatively new, distance education is not. According to Rumble (1986), the term distance education may have first been used as early as 1892 in a catalog of the University of Wisconsin. Distance education is, according to Verduin and Clark (1991): “...any formal approach to learning in which a majority of the instruction occurs while educator and learner are at a distance from one another” (p. 8). This emphasis on distance between learner and instructor or teacher is common, for instance, Berge and Collins (1995) define distance education as “the delivery of the educational process to receivers who are not in proximity to the person or persons managing or conducting the process” (p. 14).

Введение. Анализируется опыт внедрения дистанционных технологий на занятиях по английскому языку в вузе в условиях вынужденного перехода на удаленный формат работы. Цель – обобщение результатов анкетирования, направленного на выявление отношения студенческого и преподавательского сообществ к переводу образовательного процесса в электронный формат. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования послужили результаты анкетирования, проведенного в первые недели дистанционного обучения английскому языку и по окончании весеннего семестра 2019/20 учебного года. Для решения поставленных задач применялись следующие методы: анализ учебно-методической литературы по вопросам внедрения технологий в образовательный процесс по иностранному языку, анкетирование профессорско-преподавательского состава и студенческого контингента. Результаты и обсуждение. Впервые собраны и обобщены данные опроса об опыте использования электронной среды взамен аудиторной работы при проведении занятий по английскому языку в вузе. Рассматриваются достоинства и недостатки дистанционного обучения иностранным языкам в вузе; выявляется степень удовлетворенности участников образовательного процесса качеством преподавания иностранного языка в новом формате; описываются аспекты и особенности обучения английскому языку в онлайн-среде. Установлено, что основные сложности, с которыми столкнулись преподаватели и студенты на онлайн-занятиях, сопряжены с отсутствием живого общения, при котором задействованы как вербальные, так и невербальные каналы получения информации. В качестве несомненного преимущества удаленного способа работы перед аудиторным выступает организационно-бытовой аспект проведения занятий, что проявляется, прежде всего, в экономии временных затрат. Заключение. Проведение занятий по английскому языку в удаленном формате видится как высококачественная альтернатива традиционным занятиям в тех случаях, когда невозможна организация очной формы обучения в силу различных обстоятельств (пандемия, погодные условия и т. д.). Это обусловлено практической направленностью дисциплины «иностранный язык», при которой особую значимость приобретает живое общение, коммуникация «лицом к лицу». Introduction. The article provides the survey of distance technologies implementation experience in response to forced transition to e-learning environment at the university classes of the English language. The objective of the work is to consolidate and summarize the findings of the questionnaire aimed at identifying students and teachers’ attitude towards the educational process transition to electronic format. Material and methods. Research statistics was taken from the questionnaire conducted in the first couple of weeks of online English classes and at the end of 2019–2020 academic year spring term. In order to solve the task the authors applied the following methods: the analysis of methodological literature on technologies introduction into educational process at English language classes, questionnaire given to university students and teachers. Results and discussion. The paper combines and generalizes the replies to the questionnaire about the very first experience of using e-learning environment fully instead of in-class activities for the English language classes at the university. Advantages and drawbacks of a distance education are mentioned as well as the level of educational process participants’ satisfaction with the language teaching quality within a new format. There are also some special aspects of teaching English online shown. It was defined that during these classes students and teachers had faced the major challenge – the lack of a real-life communication with verbal and nonverbal channels of information exchange. One of the undeniable benefits of a distance education when compared to classroom sessions is organizational aspect, especially time saving. Conclusion. Remote format of the English language classes is considered as a high quality alternative to in-class learning in situations when classroom settings are impossible to be organized due to different circumstances (pandemics, weather conditions, etc.). Practical focus of a “Foreign language” as a subject determines the significance of a real-life face-to-face communication during the classes.

Online learning can be seen as a form of distance education. Though online education is relatively new, distance education is not. According to Rumble (1986), the term distance education may have first been used as early as 1892 in a catalog of the University of Wisconsin. Distance education is, according to Verduin and Clark (1991): “...any formal approach to learning in which a majority of the instruction occurs while educator and learner are at a distance from one another” (p. 8). This emphasis on distance between learner and instructor or teacher is common, for instance, Berge and Collins (1995) define distance education as “the delivery of the educational process to receivers who are not in proximity to the person or persons managing or conducting the process” (p. 14). These definitions cause one to envision learners working alone with their materials and completing assignments that are ultimately evaluated by a teacher also working alone, connected to their students by only the most tenuous of lines inscribed on the papers that they share. Indeed, prior to online learning, many forms of distance education were largely text based and relied on postal delivery of course materials to students, and to carry completed assignments to the instructor. This correspondence model, which primarily used mail as the primary delivery system, has been adapted to exploit perceived advantages of new media such as radio and televised systems for distance learning in both the United States and Australia (Lewis, Whitaker & Julian, 1995). However, while these models of distance learning used new media to transmit information to the learner, many still relied on postal delivery of materials from the student to the instructor. New communications technologies have changed this by making possible greater and more rapid interaction between participants in the online learning experience.

The current modern requirements are distance education. Distance education is an opportunity to study and receive the necessary knowledge remotely from the school at any convenient time. Regardless of how distance education is implemented, different countries have their own peculiarities of its use at the level of secondary and higher education. Such training programs are especially useful for many people who, due to financial, physical or geographical circumstances, do not have the opportunity to receive traditional education. Thus, distance learning provides an opportunity to gain equal access to quality education. Other names for distance learning include “open education”, “e‑learning”, “virtual learning” and so on. The Regulations on Distance Education and the Concept of Distance Education Development in Ukraine regulate the rights and responsibilities of participants in the educational process. Distance learning has a number of undeniable advantages. In particular, the student can study at a time convenient to him, the usual environment and at a relatively autonomous pace. The statute has the meaning of the understanding “distance education”; problems, the formation of the methods of interaction to provide education with victories from the hour of remote access. There are platforms designed to enable Ukrainian students, regardless of location, to obtain a quality Ukrainian education. An analysis has been carried out and the main re-runs of distance courses have been determined. The authors have provided information about the practical training management system for electronic science (learning management system, LMS) Moodle at the initial process of the Kherson Polytechnic Faculty College of the Odessa National Polytechnic University. There are also recommendations for advancing the effectiveness of remote sensing, and special respect is given to diagnostics and knowledge of education.

Nowadays distance learning is one of the key areas of renewal of all parts of educational system of Ukraine. With the spread of global corona virus pandemic, more than 1.3 billion students and young people around the world have been forced to move to an online learning format. Therefore, higher educational establishments faced the problem of changing the methodology of organization of the educational process. An urgent task was the organization of educational interaction in a distance format, namely with the help of distance learning technologies. The purpose of the article is to outline the current state, advantages, disadvantages and prospects of distance education in higher education in Ukraine. The article considers the tendencies of higher education development in modern conditions. The current state of distance education in Ukraine is analyzed. Using his own experience of implementing distance learning in higher education, the main problems and advantages of its use in the educational process are highlighted. Prospects for the introduction of distance education in Ukrainian universities are studied. In the process of research, general scientific theoretical methods were used: system analysis - to clarify the main categories of research; method of induction - at the stage of collecting, systematizing and processing information for the study; method of deduction - in the process of theoretical understanding of the problem; abstract-logical method - for the implementation of theoretical generalizations and conclusions about the current state, advantages, disadvantages and prospects of distance education in higher education in METHODS OF TEACHING AT HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS Issue I (81), 2021 157 Ukraine and empirical methods - diagnostic, namely direct and indirect observation, conversations with teachers and students, analysis of work experience teachers. The practical significance of the results is that the advantages and disadvantages identified in the study of distance learning will allow teachers to take into account these factors in the implementation of distance learning in higher education and make effective adjustments to further experimental work. A promising area of further research is to study and summarize the experience of online learning in universities that are leaders in education and have achieved significant success in various innovations aimed at improving its quality and diversifying forms and methods of teaching. It is advisable to conduct more research on the feedback of students and teachers, as well as wishes for the improvement of distance education, as they are objects and subjects of educational activities that are experiencing a period of formation of distance learning at the stage of its formation and early development.
