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.

COVID-19 pandemic has affected many sectors of life including education. Many countries had implemented the policy on distance learning. Distance education denotes the physical separation of the learner from the instructor, both by time and space. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) including online media are used to bridge the educators and the learners. The distance learning system forced the teacher to shift the traditional teaching method of face-to-face teaching to no-physical contact teaching in all stages of educations such as primary and secondary education, higher and vocational education, and special education. We found that teachers have been applied different strategies based on the unique challenges they faced. According to the COVID-19 situation, teachers from all stages of education have gathered all the solutions that could be applied. So that, it could help students to adapt to distance learning by transforming the traditional learning system to mandate distance learning system like nowadays when COVID-19 positive case could be controlled by contactless only.

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.
