Many institutions have been shut down and many economic, social, and educational activities have been disrupted by the spread of the coronavirus. Some universities and other educational institutions have opted for eLearning instead of traditional education techniques in order to keep the educational process moving. For the sake of students and teachers, several educational organizations have made their ePlatforms and libraries available for free. However, eLearning approaches have their own set of challenges and constraints that must be overcome to minimize their negative impacts. The purpose of this study is to identify the most significant problems that university instructors face when using eLearning. Teachers' views on eLearning in Libya are examined in this study, as well as their level of satisfaction and willingness to use the platforms. Many university professors were surveyed by e-mail to assess the most pressing issues they faced during the university's closure due to the development of the Corona epidemic. Instructors from two groups of academic workers who make up the sample: computer science department and mathematics department of Aljafara University are included in the study. SPSS software was used to conduct statistical analysis of the data. With a materiality of 71.8% and a mean of 3.62, the data reveal that the challenge of the instructors had the biggest impact. Third place went to all issues relating to students, and social issues came in second place. Materiality of 61% and a mean of 3.07 for accessibility were the next two factors that had the least impact on the eLearning process.

The growing role of distance learning platforms at higher educational institutions in developing countries, and the inadequate study of their effectiveness have necessitated the elimination of this imbalance. An additional problem in studying the issue of platforms’ effectiveness is the limitation of studies, which is based on qualitative methods of assessing the effectiveness. The quantitative assessment of the effectiveness and level of satisfaction with the implementation of distance learning platforms at higher educational institutions has been conducted in this academic paper. The assessment has been conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS) to assess the Usability of the Moodle remote platform in Ukraine and the User Satisfaction Questionnaire (USQ) to assess students’ satisfaction. The article proves the connection between the Usability of the distance learning platform and the level of satisfaction with its use. This provides an opportunity to improve the problem areas of the Usability platform in order to increase the efficiency of its use. The following effects of application have been revealed, namely: increase of internal motivation, involvement in the learning process, level of satisfaction from courses and training programs (curricula), recognition of homework’s importance, increased interest in subjects, and students’ self-efficacy. Effective communication and quick response, an automatic control system are factors that contribute to the introduction of modern distance learning platforms in the educational process of HEI. The important elements of the effectiveness of distance learning platforms in the educational process of HEI are interactivity, simplicity, convenience, the speed of student-teacher interaction, platform flexibility, and quality control.

The entire education system of Ukraine in the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 found itself in a situation of the challenge for the immediate implementation of distance learning in educational institutions of all levels. Despite the presence of a relatively large number of scientific studies on the features of distance education, they were not enough for its practical implementation. A blended form of learning requires a combination of asynchronous and synchronous modes of distance learning, finding optimal tools and ways to interact with students, adapting traditional methods of studying disciplines to new conditions, overcoming inequality of participants in the educational process in technical support, mastering digital technologies. Analysis of the experience of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University showed that the conditions for the introduction of blended learning in institutions of higher pedagogical education are: advanced training and appropriate retraining of teaching staff; building a model of blended learning as a starting point for distance learning; development of educational and methodical support of educational disciplines taking into account the requirements of blended learning; implementation of all elements of the educational process in blended learning; providing participants of the educational process with organizational, methodological, technical and psychological support.

The article discusses the most important issue of personality-oriented general cultural basis of the future professional, its components and the main focus of the educational process to this result. The authors substantiate the model of culture of the "spiritualized professional" and the position that on this way one can only expect the development of society without global catastrophes. In the process of a person's "movement" to a profession in a certain educational space in pedagogy and psychology, its main vectors (directions) are distinguished, which allow us to structure and clarify our ideas about the possible trajectories of a student's movement in this space. Traditional education was actually determined by the sole focus on the acquisition by students of well-known, well-established information about the main objects of the relevant sciences, professional skills and practical skills. Despite the introduction of competence and competencies into everyday life, the focus on zuna still remains the basis of the set standards, educational programs, no matter how they are labeled differently, and in most cases it is it that is implemented in practice, no matter what teaching technologies are used by school teachers or university professors. A deeper penetration into the patterns of becoming a professional allows us to understand that a person becomes a professional as a result of a dialectical combination of two processes - mastering knowledge from the relevant professional field. This is the essence of professionalism. So, in the professional educational space, two relatively independent vectors can be distinguished, conventionally called the "vertical" and "horizontal" of the educational process. At the same time, in the scientific literature, there are different interpretations of these vectors: in one of the models, the formation of an individual style in professional activity and in the line of enriching one's professional awareness.

In many higher education institutions of Ukraine there are centers of distance education, the system of which is based on a number of principles: continuity; democratization; integration; globalization. In the conditions of the declared quarantine connected with the Covid–19 pandemic in the educational process of higher educational institutions and medical in particular distance learning has become especially relevant. The aim is to descriptive the forms and methods of distance learning on the example of microbiology, virology and immunology in TNMU and department of microbiology, virology and immunology ZSMU. Microsoft Office 365 (MS Teams application) and Skype for Business were chosen as the main platforms for the implementation of distance learning at ZSMU for the quarantine period. As a platform for distance education at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology, TNMU used the capabilities of Moodle. Distance learning at ZSMU and TNMU was carried out according to the schedule drawn up at the beginning of the semester using two forms of education, because this combination best helps to implement and ensure the learning process: online conferences and coverage of all materials on the department’s website. The advantages of distance learning are obvious today.This form of learning has significant potential, because the software capabilities of the Microsoft Office 365 and Moodle platforms allow you to quickly transfer any amount of study material to students with its subsequent storage and permanent access for self-study and repetition, as well as various forms of student knowledge control and documentation of the received marks. For successful distance learning it is very important to choose the optimal form of learning or a combination thereof. However, it cannot completely replace traditional education and necessarily requires practical work, especially when studying disciplines at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology.

The article is devoted to the history of the development of female education in the Dagestan region in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. It examines the system of women’s education, features of its development, formation, support and organization of the educational process, its impact on the education system of Dagestan as a whole. The chronological framework of the study covers the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. During this period, religious schools functioned in parallel with Russian educational institutions, which emerged in the places of deployment of military units and settlements with a Russian-speaking population. An important issue, reflected in the study, is the disclosure of the peculiarities of homeschooling, the content of which depended on the preferences of parents. An analysis of the diverse historical literature made it possible to conclude that women’s educational institutions in pre-revolutionary Dagestan, regardless of their form and content of education, raised the educational and cultural level of girls, introduced them to the achievements of world culture, and prepared them for family life. The teaching process in religious and Russian schools varied greatly. Thus, for example, Muslim traditional education was divided into two stages. Dagestan people received their primary education in maktabs (mosque schools), the main goal of which was to teach reading and writing in Arabic and reading the Koran, to introduce students to the scientific achievements of the Muslim Orient. After that, those wishing to gain in-depth knowledge of classical Muslim sciences continued their studies in numerous madrasahs, the level of which varied depending on the established traditions and teaching staff. In Russian schools, the educational process was regulated by the curriculum and curricula in general subjects, theology and home economics. The task of Russian schools was to help students integrate into the all-Russian cultural field, to introduce them to the achievements of Russian and European cultures.

During the COVID -19 pandemic, educational institutions around the world faced problems that have to do with the frustration of students for whom traditional education has been replaced by the online format. Students are experiencing technical difficulties in the digitalization of education. International monitoring of education systems has shown that quite a few countries were ready to move to distance learning, both for technical and economic reasons. The covid pandemic has caused an increase in educational inequality. Elearning systems were expected to reduce inequality in education, but empirical research has shown that learning in this format not only does not reduce, but can increase inequality, increasing the gap in educational outcomes between students with different socioeconomic status. The article describes applications of using voice recognition technology based on artificial intelligence which, by our opinion, may reduce educational inequality during covid-19. We presented a comparative analysis of existing examples artificial intelligence in the educational process. Artificial intelligence uses in specialized software it makes educational process more convenient for both the students and the teachers. There is a description of an application “Academic phrase bank" developed by author. The application consists of two specialising actions for Google assistant. The application allows to increase academic vocabulary, train of creating grammatically correct academic expressions, and memorize templates of academic phrases. In active mode, this application helps to create correct phrases of academic English and improve the abilities of understanding English speech.

In modern education, a new format of distance learning is developing more and more rapidly - massive open online courses (MOOCs), this is especially important in times of quarantines and remote learning. The aim of the research is to study the attitude of teachers and students to MOOCs and their readiness to implement this practice in the educational process. 2145 students and 1050 teachers of higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation voluntarily took part in the study. The analysis of the survey data was made in the STATISTICA system. It has been found that more than 30% of respondents have an idea of MOOCs. It has also been determined that 31% of students and 28% of teachers are positive about the introduction of MOOCs in the educational process of universities. In addition, it has been determined that 31% of students and 23% of teachers plan to take MOOCs. Overall, the survey results showed a fairly good acceptance of MOOCs by respondents. From this, it can be concluded that in the near future, taking into account the reorganization of the educational process, MOOCs may become a worthy alternative to traditional education. It is for this that the results of this study can be used by the administration of the universities that have taken part in the survey, in order to further inform students and teachers about MOOCs. There is also a need to reorganize, revise, implement and provide an opportunity for students to study through such a form of distance learning as MOOCs.

The problems of image are now becoming a strategic management concern for higher educational institutions since they affect the level of satisfaction and loyalty of all parties interacting with the institutions. Efficient image management can be critical to the survival and success of an organization in the context of government funding reduction and a highly competitive environment. The article analyzes the results of a survey on the Anketolog.ru platform which involved 52 respondents and was aimed at collecting the expert commentaries of potential employers engaged as tutors in the educational process at Baikal State University (BSU). The survey revealed assessments of the quality of training provided by the system of higher education, assessment of the current BSU’s graduates employment efficiency, as well as the level of BSU’s graduates’ satisfaction with the quality of their training and skill level. The «word cloud» method enabled the authors to determine what skills (competencies) obtained by the graduates the potential employers consider the most important, and to find the right wording for them and for the relevant courses to be included in the academic programs. Therefore, the analysis of the survey results provided the data on the demand for specialists trained at the university and the requirements for their skills and characteristics expected by potential employers, which helps to determine possible strategic prospects for BSU’s cooperation with potential employers in the 5-year period to come. Though the results of the study are of a practical value for Baikal State University, they might be useful for any university to build up its image.
