The Health Care department specialities are regulated professions whose training programmes require the graduates to be competent in a number of issues and activities related to their work. The subject of their professional activity is the individual with their health-related conditions. Healthcare specialists draw conclusions in a variety of clinical situations and perform different healthcare procedures aiming to achieve prevention and recovery in a patient’s health. They have to establish a number of practical psychomotor skills in the field of compliant medical and healthcare handling, as well as communication skills for liaising with the patient and their relatives. In addition, the healthcare specialists have to learn how to overcome negative emotions, and to seek balance between the development of their technological knowledge and professional behavior. In the changing profile of healthcare trainees – nurses and midwives, there is a strongly-influenced tendency towards technological development and digital revolution. Video methods are developing educational technologies. They have their own place in the acquisition of healthcare patient-handling and communication skills when they are effectively included within the standard curriculum. This poses a challenge for the academic staff to draw up and provide educational tools and technologies that are liked, and match the students’ contemporary learning styles. It has become necessary for academic staff to withdraw the traditional didactic educational models and to adopt more constructive approaches for greater involvement and participation of the trainees in the educational process.The article justifies the necessity for optimizing education in the healthcare field through implementing e-learning within higher education. This need is driven by the ever-increasing inclusion of information technologies in healthcare, as well as in all other aspects of life. The design and development of e-learning technology and methodology in university contributes to solving great many pedagogical and psychological problems. Implementing information and communication technologies presents us with a new level of mediation for mental and communicative activities of both lecturers and students. Video education has been explored in the current scientific report and an educational cycle is presented in regard to the healthcare experts training. Implementation of social media and its inclusion within the educational process of both midwives and nurses are discussed. The necessity to include video tutorials in the educational process is justified. It is concluded the aforementioned are educational resources which should not be ignored but, on the contrary – they have to be used as complementary educational content within the contemporary education of healthcare experts.

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.

Purpose The idea to use computers for teaching and learning is over 50 years old. Numerous attempts to use computers for knowledge dissemination under a variety of names have failed in many cases, and have become successful in others. The essence of this paper can be summarized in two sentences. One, in some niches, applications tend to be successful. Second, attempts to fully eliminate humans from the educational process are bound to fail, yet if a large number of aspects is handled well, the role of teachers can indeed be much reduced. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Report on experimental results. Findings In some niches, applications of e-Learning technology tend to be successful. However, attempts to fully eliminate humans from the educational process are bound to fail, yet if a large number of aspects is handled well, the role of teachers can indeed be much reduced. Research limitations/implications A number of features that seemed essential in earlier e-Learning systems turn out to be superfluous. Practical implications New e-Learning systems have to concentrate on quality of content, not complex technology. Social implications E-Learning the right way helps learners, teachers and institutions. Originality/value Experiments reported verify or do the opposite of often loosely stated opinions.

 In the article on the basis of the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and network sources the content of the concepts of "mobile learning", "mobile technologies", "mobile learning technologies" is investigated. So by the concept of mobile learning (m-learning) in the WFD we mean a form of e-learning using the personal mobile devices of students, learning in different contexts - through social and meaningful interaction, using the learning technologies of mobile devices at a convenient time for students. The experience of introducing mobile technologies (m-learning) into the school's educational process is generalized. The article highlights the pedagogical conditions, didactic functions and principles of mobile learning in the HLS. The main aspects of the introduction of mobile learning in the HLS are the use of mobile technology, that is, when a technology tool mediates schoolchildren and knowledge as an extension of e-learning and is one of the possible areas of blended learning, this is learner-centered learning. The peculiarities of the introduction of mobile education in general secondary education institutions are identified, the advantages of the use of mobile learning in the educational space of the WSS are outlined. With the introduction of mobile learning, the educational process adapts to the environment, becoming compact, focused and interactive. In mobile learning, it is important that the information is delivered in small portions, as clearly as possible to the situation and, at the same time, that the process of interaction with the product is satisfying. Accordingly, users' habits are changing: students increasingly want the learning process to be simple, effective and fun. They use mobile devices to communicate with participants in the educational process, providing a new level of communication and learning management. For teachers, the advantage of using mobile learning is the ability to ask students in response to the task, and parents to monitor the progress of children through obtaining relevant information from school.Keywords: mobile learning, e-learning, learning principles, information and communication technologies.
