The article is devoted to the description of the results of a study of students' satisfaction with the organisation of distance learning at the university, the difficulties encountered in learning under new conditions of self-isolation, resources and ways to overcome them. The study involved 1288 students of Kostroma State University of all courses, forms of study and educational levels. For statistical data processing, the SPSS 17.0 package (Spearman's correlation analysis, content analysis of students' free statements) was used. It is shown that the transition to distance learning in conditions of self-isolation is very successful, most students have adapted to the new situation. The degree of students' satisfaction with work in the remote format correlates with the assessment of their own success and with the features of the organisation of the learning process. Lack of communication with teachers and difficulties in mastering educational material form a request among students to expand the range of communication tools and teaching tools used. It was found that students experience a number of organisational and personal difficulties associated with the transition to a distance learning format. However, most students successfully overcome them using constructive coping strategies aimed at solving the problem and seeking support. The ways of increasing the degree of students’ satisfaction with work in the distance learning system, aimed at increasing the level of their psychological well-being, are proposed – focusing on a dialogical approach, organising methodological support for training courses, updating the organisational functions of curator teachers, implementing teamwork of teachers to ensure interdisciplinarity and integrability of acquired knowledge and competences.

Teaching and learning activities, especially in Higher Education, from time to time develop along with the development of technology, especially information technology. Initially, the teaching and learning activities at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the Buddhist Dharma University (FST-UBD) used a manual system in the form of face-to-face class. The system (for several courses and meetings) developed into distance learning (e-learning) where lecturers and students did not meet in teaching and learning activities in the classroom but through the internet media. This distance learning system uses computer or laptop facilities. The e-learning system was developed into a mobile learning system, which is a distance learning system using an Android-based smartphone. In the mobile learning system, lecturers can provide lecture material and assignments to students. Students can view lecture material via cellphone and can download the material. Students can submit assignments to lecturers via cellphone. The University can provide information about the seminar to be held. Students can choose the seminar to be followed and can register for the seminar via cellphone. This application system can be run well and can help facilitate the process of teaching and learning activities for lecturers and students. Lecturers can upload material and assignments for students. Students can view / download material and submit assignments to the lecturer. The university can provide information about the seminar and the seminar registration process.

The purpose of the work. The purpose of the work is to substantiate and test a practice-oriented interactive information and pedagogical technology aimed at the formation and development of managerial competencies of students and undergraduates studying in the direction of “Management". The relevance of this problem is due to the transition of the national economy to an innovative development path and the demand for specialists with both a system of professional knowledge and the ability to successfully solve practical and theoretical problems in their workplaces, including using modern information technologies.Materials and methods. To achieve this purpose, methods of analysis and comparison of already existing approaches to solving the problem were used, and the general scientific system approach was used as the main method, the basis of which is the consideration of subjects and objects of educational activity in a higher educational institution as elements of a management system. In this context, the educational activities of students are studied from the standpoint of the democratization of management, including co-management and self-governance. In order to increase the effectiveness of the educational process, the possibility of using the distance learning system (DLS) of Moodle as a software environment for the development and placement of educational and methodological materials, the organization of the educational process based on them, including the assessment of educational achievements of students, is considered. Testing of the developed technology was carried out in the Minsk branch of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics in work with students within the framework of academic disciplines of the training direction — “Management: 38.03.02”, profile of the program —“Organization Management” and “Crisis Management”, higher education level — “Bachelor”, as well as working with undergraduates training direction 38.04.02 “Management”, profile of the program “Strategic and Corporate Governance”.Results. As part of the study, an interactive information and pedagogical technology using the Moodle distance learning system (DLS) was developed and tested, based on the involvement of students in management activities, using democratization inclusive mechanisms in the educational process, and promoting the development of the team’s organizational culture and ability to work in student and master groups competitive environment. The proposed information and pedagogical technology makes it possible to give the training of students and undergraduates a practice-oriented character in their first year of study at the university. A survey of students and undergraduates during and following the study of academic disciplines using the information and pedagogical technology under consideration indicates that they welcome it. The vast majority of students and undergraduates in the questionnaires noted that they are satisfied with the quality of teaching and the results of their own activities, as well as the positive team relationships that are formed as a result of work.Conclusion. The proposed technology harmoniously combines the best that is in the “live” and “virtual” interaction of the subjects of the educational process, and allows you to organize managerial practice of students and undergraduates directly in the classroom. Thus, already at the first stages of training at the university, a practice-oriented approach is implemented, aimed at the formation and development of students and undergraduates of managerial digital competencies in demand in modern economics and society.

The purpose of this study is to identify whether students at Turkish universities are having difficulties in the distance learning process and to reveal their opinions regarding the system. Using a cross-cultural survey design, data were collected from 5052 students. Based on the collected data, 58.5% of the students have asynchronous distance learning classes in their universities. Access to distance learning classes is one of the problems, and it is attributed to computers, internet, and connectivity issues as well as with starting the lessons too early or late. A majority of participants (73.7%) found class materials uploaded by lecturers to distance learning systems to be sufficient or partially sufficient, and 36.7% stated that they had problems accessing resources regarding their homework. Students' satisfaction level with the distance learning system scored 4.4 out of 10. According to the evaluation regarding whether the level of satisfaction of participants varied across the type of university, the satisfaction level of students in public universities is generally low (score of 4.3 out of 10) compared to satisfaction in foundation universities (4.9 out of 10).
