In the field of education motivation to learn is important for learners in all types of system in general and ODL (Open and Distance Learning) system is particular. In ODL system learners should take ownership of the learning process, should link what they are being taught and toward which they are directing their efforts. These can be characterized as their aspirations of learners. ODL institutions should know the aspirations of learners and have a mechanism to assess the level of aspiration of learners. It’s important to match between learner’s aspirations and behaviors. It is important for learners aspiring to careers, choice of courses, and enthusiasm for doing the kinds of things necessary to achieve their aspirations. Understanding learners’ aspirations is important to develop a learning culture of learners in any system of education. This type of a culture helps the learners to be a self learner, they need to consider their aspirations and make clearer and connect their plan of action with their goals. The ultimate aim is to improve the overall learning environment and supports to the success of learners. Knowing and understanding more about learner’s aspirations; valuing and implementing on such important information is crucial for any educational institution to improve learner’s outcomes and the quality of the educational 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 development of the information society determines the study of the introduction of information technology in the educational process of educational institutions as a tool for self-development, self-realization, social and communicative adaptation. Creating an information and educational environment of the educational institution is responsible for the success of the introduction of information and communication technologies in education at all levels. Theoretical analysis of the concept of "information and educational environment" is presented and its main characteristics are highlighted: openness, expandability, scalability, integration, adaptability. The principles on which information and educational environments should be created are formulated: multicomponent, integrity, distribution, adaptability. The functions of the information and educational environment in the distance learning system are revealed. It is shown that the information-educational environment satisfies the information-educational needs of the participants of the educational process, timely and high-quality provision of educational material, maintains connections "inside" and with "external" information space, fixes the relationship of content addressed to different subjects. The structure of the information and educational environment of the Ivan Chernyakhovsky National University of Defense of Ukraine is presented, which is an integral part of the integrated use of information and communication technologies in the educational process. A prerequisite for creating an information and educational environment is the availability of electronic content, technologies and means of electronic communication of all participants in the educational process. Information and educational environment is possible only if the development of all its components - management, content, organizational, technological. The management component includes the educational policy of the educational institution. The content component includes information and methodological resources. The organizational component performs integrating, systematizing and informational functions. The technological component is directly related to the choice of software.

For the modern higher education system, it is difficult to find a more relevant topic than distance learning. Having tested the distance format in the spring of 2020, when strict self-isolation measures were introduced by the decision of the city authorities, higher educational institutions in Moscow switched to this format again in the fall of 2020, in connection with the onset of the second wave of the pandemic. Considering that subsequent waves of the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses are possible, Russian higher educational institutions must be ready to take on new challenges, which makes improving the distance learning system in each specific educational institution an extremely important task in planning and organizing the educational process. The purpose of the study: to share the experience of the Timiryazev Academy on the implementation of distance learning during the pandemic. The object of the research is distance learning. The subject of the research is the implementation of distance learning at the Timiryazev Academy in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years. The research methods are content analysis of the official website of the Timiryazev Academy and other Internet resources, as well as the sociological survey of students of the Timiryazev Academy. The article shows the main problems that the academy faced when implementing distance learning: selection of high-quality content, psychological preparation of teachers, establishment of operational communication, as well as the provision of students with means of communication. The main scientific result: it is shown that the key to successfully overcoming the difficulties and solving the problems caused by the pandemic was the course for the consistent digitalization of the educational process, which began to be performed at the Timiryazev Academy even before the pandemic started.

The article analyzes the problem feld of the distance education system. To determine the popularity of distance learning in Moscow universities among teachers and students, a sociological survey was conducted, which allowed us to identify an increasing trend in the number of students who would prefer distance learning to traditional with a strict schedule and draw conclusions about the prospects for distance education in Russian higher education institutions. The article presents a model of the educational process in the distance learning system with a brief description of each block. The model includes all the stages that a student goes through when entering, studying and graduating from a higher educational institution before receiving a diploma confrming the appropriate level of education. Each of the blocks contains descriptions of the actions required to pass this stage, as well as recommendations for improving and extracting the maximum result for both teachers or educational institutions, and for the students themselves. Alternative options are provided if one of the stages is stopped or impossible to overcome. Conclusions are drawn, in which cases the presented model of the educational process is applied, and the prospects of distance education in General are considered.

In the article, using the case of Learning Management System (LMS), we consider a methodology for assessing the quality of education, taking into account the requests of experts, lecturers, and students. There is a growing relevance of such research due to the digitalization of education, the transition to distance learning as the main or auxiliary form of organizing the educational process. The applied methodology relies on the earlier developed concept of emergent learning and the system for the assessment of the quality of education, using the conception of negentropy. By adapting this methodology to the LMS assessment task, we show the importance of creating a hierarchical scheme of modules and functional elements necessary for an effective organization of the learning process. In order to provide an integral assessment, it is necessary, according to our position, to determine the weighting factor of each module and of each criterion by which this module is assessed and then to determine the values of each criterion for a specific LMS. A proposed flexible assessment system that takes into account the requests of all aspects of the educational process, allows, by modifying the weighting factors, to adapt the equation in accordance with the specificity of the subject area and educational institution within which the LMS is used. As an advantage of this methodology, it makes it possible not only to compare different LMSs in terms of quality but also to identify areas in which it is possible to improve and refine existing LMSs. We analyze the risks associated with the transformation of assessment systems from an auxiliary tool into an end in itself. In this regard, we propose an algorithm for separating qualitative and quantitative factors accounting, which helps to avoid the negative effect of the absolutization of assessment systems. In the conclusion, we outline the ways of developing the design of such a system of the management of educational process in which quality requirements prevail over circumstantial ones.

A full-fledged transformation is impossible without the use of new didactic approaches and without the creation of a qualitatively new educational and methodological support. This is due to the peculiarities of the modern student. Modern students were born and grew up in an information-saturated world and they are dominated by clip thinking, which is focused on processing information in short portions. Based on this, the problem of developing such training programs that would be aimed at independent work, based on game methods of presenting information, would take into account the psychophysiological features of perception, processing and storage of information by a modern person becomes urgent.To solve this problem, the authors analyzed the results of cognitive psychology research, conducted a self-analysis of the experience of developing and implementing three-dimensional interactive training programs in the educational process.The paper reveals the problems and disadvantages of traditional ways of presenting information. Examples of the implementation of interactive training applications are shown. The method of organizing a distributed distance learning system is presented.The conducted research allowed us to outline ways to modernize educational and methodological support by using interactive applications, mobile learning, resource allocation, introduction of modern digital solutions and creation of a comfortable educational environment.
