Exams, being a good way to measure the academic achievement, can cause students serious psychological problems. One of the ways to eliminate stressful situations is to maximize the objectivity of students' assessment during examination testing. The article analyses the measures to reduce the subjectivity of assessment during examination testing in the context of a pandemic. Options for conducting examination testing at the university, at home and with the participation of a proctor are offered. Pros and cons of proctoring are discussed. The procedure for examination testing and the conditions for its implementation in the context of a pandemic are described in detail. The article provides a practical example of conducting an examination test in the specialty "Jurisprudence". The article considers the alternatives to examination testing. The author concludes saying that it is necessary to combine traditional and distance learning methods after the end of the pandemic period in Kazakhstan.

This study aims to reveal the obstacles to achieving quality in distance learning during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and was based on a large sample of professors and students of universities in the Arab world (Algerian, Egyptian, Palestinian, and Iraqi). The primary aim of this research was to investigate the various ways in which students pursued their studies at home during the university suspension as a result of COVID-19. In this paper, the researchers use an exploratory descriptive approach through a questionnaire with a conveniently selected sample of 400 professors and student’s returns out of 600 were distributed. The results indicate that the professors and students faced self-imposed obstacles, as well as pedagogical, technical, and financial or organizational obstacles. Recommendations are presented to overcome and understand these obstacles to benefit in the future during unexpected or similar problems.

The work describes the methods and forms of the distance teaching format. The authors of the article analyze the basic methodological principles of distance learning in the system of higher education. Taking the principle of teacher-student communication as a basis for classifying distance learning methods, they propose to distinguish the main four types of distance learning methods, each of which is analyzed in this article.

Questions about the extent to which technology will displace college professors have led to the resignation of the chancellor of the University of Maine in what some see as a forerunner to conflicts at other colleges. Under a plan by Chancellor J. Michael Orenduff, the University of Maine would have created an eighth campus, this one without buildings or professors, but using only two-way televised classes. Rather than add a class in say, economics at one campus, students would simply watch its broadcast from another campus. ... universities are experimenting with what has come to be called distance learning or video-conferencing—the use of two-way television and two-way audio to replicate the classroom while permitting students to remain at home or at remote places.

Examined is the problem of individual educational approach in online learning, presented is the description of the score-rating system. Answered is, why and how it is necessary to rebuild the educational process under conditions of Covid. Also presented are answers about the new method of working with students, what is the role of the individual educational route in the context of distance learning, how to restructure the educational process and make sure that students learn using the tools that will help them quickly acquire competencies in an online format, and about the implementation of feedback in the audience. The experience of working in the online mode in the Moodle system is described. The pros and cons of distance learning at the university are shown. A survey of students of three higher educational institutions was conducted. It is concluded that students need live communication, and distance learning is relaxing, inefficient under conditions of sometimes lack of Internet in localities.

This research is based on learning in tertiary institutions which requires more active, independent and creative learners. of the importance of using appropriate learning methods in mathematics learning at the university level. SCAMPER is a technique that can be used to spark creativity and help overcome challenges that might be encountered in the form of a list of general goals with ideas spurring questions. This research aims to develop students' problem solving skills using the SCAMPER method in terms of student motivation. The population in this study were all semester V students of mathematics education study programs, which were also the research samples. From the analysis of the data it was found that the SCAMPER method was better in developing students' problem solving abilities with an average increase of 0.52 compared to conventional methods with an average increase of 0.45. In addition there is a difference between improving students' problem solving abilities when viewed from their motivation. But there is no interaction between motivational factors and learning methods.

The sudden shift to distance learning caused by the COVID-19 virus emergency has posed a serious challenge to schools. This article presents a successful model for applying the STEM approach in science education at the Alexander Georgiev-Kodzhakafaliyata Primary School in Burgas. In the conditions of synchronous distance learning in MS Teams environment, students conduct experiments with handy tools and materials at home, during online classes or as homework assignments, then describe the experiments in presentations and share them with their classmates during the project week ( April holidays and at the end of the year). The application of STEM home laboratory combines knowledge from different disciplines, diversifies and facilitates learning, enables learning by doing things, which most stimulates the curiosity of students. Thus, they casually acquire skills for planning and conducting a scientific experiment, generating hypotheses and reasoning, measuring results and formulating conclusions. At the same time, soft skills for teamwork, creative and critical thinking, presentation skills are formed and upgraded.

To slow down the spread of the Coronavirus, the population has been instructed to stay<br>at home if possible. This measure consequently has a major impact on our daily mobility<br>behaviour. But who is being affected, and how? The MOBIS-COVID-19 research project,<br>an initiative of ETH Zurich and the University of Basel, is a continuation of the original<br>MOBIS study. The aim of the project is to get a picture of how the crisis is affecting<br>mobility and everyday life in Switzerland.

The article considers an issue of information security of the distance education systems. It analyzes the functions and architecture of the typical distance education system. With considering the requirements of information security it also discusses the university information system for solving the distance learning problems. The author defines valuable assets and information resources and describes the existing security threats. The subjects of interaction in the distance learning mode are presented. There is a consideration of the principal directions of the university’s activity in the distance learning system, requiring constant monitoring of information security. A threat model is worked out and the main security vulnerabilities are highlighted. The analysis of the causes and consequences of information security violation in the distance learning system is carried out and most vulnerable and critical nodes were identified. The hardware and software requirements for the remote mode work are regarded. A recommended list of hardware and software tools that ensure compliance with safety requirements is presented. The major lines of protection for distance learning systems are highlighted. The article proves the necessity of conducting a regular security assessment as a means for monitoring an effectiveness of the protection system.
