The use of information and communication technologies has greatly expanded and has far-reaching implications for social work practice. Following an international review of the literature, this study explored how social workers consider the issues associated with integration of e-therapy into their social work practice. A survey of Israeli social workers revealed that only 4 percent have actual experience with e-therapy. Respondents judged disabled persons and those with mobility restrictions, caregivers of the chronically ill, new parents, the chronically ill, and teenagers as the most appropriate target populations. Attitudes toward benefits, barriers, and training predicted the applicability of e-therapy in practice.

Educational multimedia resources are included in the learning process as a "support" means. In this case, information resources serve as a means of intensifying the training process, individualization of learning and partial automation of routine work of the teacher related to the integration, monitoring and evaluation of students' knowledge.Relevance The article discusses the fundamental changes occurring in all spheres of society in connection with the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICT), not only open up broad opportunities for the development and information support of the individual, but also pose new challenges for the education system [1]. In the most general form, these tasks are aimed at the formation of the individual’s readiness for life and professional activity in the information society. Thus, the modern social order requires the improvement of professional training of specialists owning information and communication technologies, including multimedia technologies.Methods The use of multimedia tools to control knowledge. Such tools can be used both for intermediate knowledge testing (within the study of one topic of the course of database fundamentals), and for the final knowledge test (after studying a section or course). As a rule, students have a positive attitude towards tests submitted using a computer, and in determining the results there are no problems with biased (formal) grading. Such tests depending on the level of complexity, the number of questions and other parameters can be used at any stage of the study of the discipline.Results Students may encounter some difficulties caused by lack of experience with the test form of control. Testing requires students not only knowledge of a certain educational material, but also the ability to work with it, i.e. understand the specifics of the test tasks. To do this, apply in the classroom interactive tests. The Internet is also used to solve tests in on-line mode.Organized in the classroom and after school hours, working with interactive tests forms the students' core information competencies, and for many they are the ones that are most relevant today and will be needed in the future.Discussion The authors of the article describe the introduction of multimedia resources, their presentation as a complex process leading to changes in the content of education, revision of the methods and forms of organization of the educational process, the construction of

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are electronic tools used to convey, manipulate and store information. The exponential growth of Internet access and ICTs greatly influenced social, political, and economic processes in the United States, and worldwide. Regardless of the level of practice, ICTs will continue influencing the careers of social workers and the clients they serve. ICTs have received some attention in the social work literature and curriculum, but we argue that this level of attention is not adequate given their ubiquity, growth and influence, specifically as it relates to upholding social work ethics. Significant attention is needed to help ensure social workers are responsive to the technological changes in the health care system, including the health care infrastructure and use of technology among clients. Social workers also need ICT competencies in order to effectively lead different types of social change initiatives or collaborate with professionals of other disciplines who are using ICTs as part of existing strategies. This paper also identifies potential pitfalls and challenges with respect to the adoption of ICTs, with recommendations for advancing their use in practice, education, and research.

There are a lot of significant structural changes in almost all higher educational institutions in Ukraine due to time requirements. Accession to a single European space, new educational standards requires the revision and expansion of the content of pedagogical activities, functions and roles implemented by educators. Students are granted the rights and opportunities for the most complete satisfaction of individual educational requests. There was a need to review the ideas about the content of teaching activities and the emergence of new positions. In recent years, scientists have been actively discussing the introduction the position of the tutor in the education system. The term «tutor» came to us from classical universities in Great Britain and extended the notion of «teacher». Tutors became widespread, especially in the context of the gradual integration of Ukraine into the European educational space. Tutor is a historically established special pedagogical position that provides the development of individual educational programs, the potential of each student and prepares him for a changing life. Tutor controls not only student’s study, but also his behavior, way of life, attending classes, rest, appearance, etc. Tutor while working with student transmits a variety of techniques and rules for mastering new knowledge. However, learning is impossible without the use of ICT. Therefore, it is not enough for tutor to use only traditional technologies of education and upbringing. After all, without the use of computer it is difficult to satisfy the individual requests of each student. So tutors need to know the possibilities of the Internet navigate the pedagogical network communities, use innovative pedagogical technologies to increase the students’ interest in learning and activating their cognitive activity. Indeed, nowadays it is difficult to imagine a learning process without the use of modern technology. Thus, information and communication technologies should become reliable assistants of the tutor to the new conditions of life and professional activity in the information society. Application of information and communication technologies in tutoring practices is considered as an innovative approach in building the process of training and preparing students for professional activities. This is due to the fact that the computerization and application of modern information and communication technologies is an opportunity that will help to create a new system of education. Information and communication technology at the university is not a trend, but a modern necessity. They must become an integral part of the educational process. Therefore, the modern tutor must be able to work with new means of education, at least in order to ensure one of the most important rights of the student − the right in qualitative education. Consequently, in the process of tutor’s support various information and communication technologies can be used to maximize the optimization of tutor activity.
