In this article, we present a selection of Internet resources covering subject areas found in standard medical education curricula. Basic sciences and clinical resource sites are explored. We also review Web sites that offer useful materials that can be downloaded to handheld devices such as palmtop computers, smartphones, and portable media players. We judged the sites based on their potential to enhance the learning process, provide practice questions or study guides for examinations, or aid in the preparation of manuscripts. Medical students, residents, educators, and practitioners of podiatric medicine and surgery who require a quick reference source to either the basic science foundations of podiatric medicine or the clinical side of basic medicine, may find this paper useful.

This paper presents a selection of Internet resources covering most of the subject areas found in standard medical education curricula. Basic sciences sites are emphasized, but clinical resources are also included. Reported sites were judged based on their potential to enhance the learning process, provide practice questions or study guides for examinations, or aid in the preparation of papers. In addition to podiatric medical students, residents and practitioners who require a quick reference source to either the basic science foundations of podiatric medicine or the clinical side of podiatric practice may find this paper useful.

This article examines the use of various Internet resources in education in the context of the global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The relevance of the research topic is determined by new requirements and trends in education in the era of distance learning. That is why recently it has become extremely important to introduce new educational technologies in the educational process, in particular in teaching a foreign language. The aim of the article is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of online learning and the impact of information technology on the learning process. The research was carried out using the analytical method and questionnaires. The article also raises the issue of using Internet resources and multimedia tools, which is the main way to provide distance learning using various communication platforms (Zoom, Hangouts, Teams, Skype, Moodle, and others) and social networks (Viber, Skype, WhatsApp, etc.). The result of the research presented in this article is the conclusion that the use of Internet resources and modern teaching aids of the new generation allows teachers to fill professional educational activities with new creative content and form, actively apply problematic, variable, innovative teaching methods, intensively use educational Web -sites, Internet portals.

<p>When we approach the task of teaching EFL it becomes quite easy to find very useful Internet resources, as there is plenty of specific material on this subject on the web. The problem, however, with Legal English (LE) resources is knowing where to start selecting the most suitable sites, as language-focused web sites for non-native speakers (NNSs) of LE do not abound, if they exist at all.* Thinking of the difficulty of finding useful sites for teaching LE to NNSs, I decided to spend some time on searching the web, looking for good web resources that teachers could use when teaching English for Law. </p><p>I would like to clearly state however that there is an enormous range of legal material available on the web, but I have tried to restrict myself to a number of sites I consider specially suitable for my own specific purposes as a NNSs' LE teacher. The selection of web pages described below is intended to help LE teachers find a place to start their own choice of materials on the web to support language teaching and learning.</p>

The relevance of the study under consideration is due to the need to increase the efficiency of students independent work in solving computational problems. A theoretical rationale is proposed and the practical implementation of an automated training and diagnostic system for the formation of skills to solve problems according to the “white box” model is described. The leading idea of the study is the construction of mental schemes for a given topic, which allow to visualize the dynamics of changes in the learner’s level of ability to solve computational problems. The methods of accounting for forgetting educational information and methods of personalized selection of tasks are substantiated. The site for self-management of user independent work is available at the link: http://msbx.ru. The materials of the article are of practical value for teachers who use e-learning tools in the educational process.

Innovations change the world in all spheres of life, and education is not an exception. Modern requirements of time put us new challenges that require the use of new information technologies at all stages of the educational process in higher education institutions, in particular the use of the Internet. In addition, it has been noted that Internet resources increase motivation and contribute to the formation of a fully developed personality. Testing and evaluating students' knowledge and abilities is an integral part of the credit-module system. One of the forms of evaluation of the initial level of knowledge, consolidation and improvement of assimilation of information is testing. It should be noted that in a number of countries, testing has shifted traditional forms of control — oral and written exams and interviews. However, in Ukraine, educators remain adherents of a combination of testing and classical analysis of material. It allows the most efficient distribution of the training time of a practical class, 100% control of the knowledge and the effectiveness of mastering the material of all the students of the academic group. Technical progress stimulates the search for new variants and possibilities of testing, its various variations. One of the options that can help solve this problem was a smartphone. In order to facilitate the work of the teacher at the Department of Microbiology, an online testing system with the use of smartphones was introduced. Online testing is conducted among students with Ukrainian and English language training. With the Google Forms platform, the teacher creates a form which contains the student's records and tests. Students directly from the teacher get a link to fill out an online form directly at the lesson. For testing, a database containing standard KROK-1 licensed test tasks is used. The form can contain any number of test tasks that are in arbitrary order, as well as a changed order of distractors, which makes it impossible to write off. At the same time, all students are in the same conditions: all write one option. After submitting the form, the student receives a notification that his response is recorded. Re-linking is not possible. In turn, the teacher receives a message on the result of the test in the table — the ratio of correct answers to the total number of questions, as well as options for their answers. First and foremost, questions are displayed on which students gave the largest number of incorrect answers. This allows the topic to be considered in the process of discussion of the most difficult tasks from the students perspective, and in the future it will allow more efficiently to create forms for on-line tests and to focus on these issues.
