Today, the prospects for the development of distance learning are gaining momentum not only in Europe but also in Ukraine. This type of knowledge and skills allows you to solve many problems of modern educational reality, namely to give the opportunity to get an education without leaving home, to reduce the time and cost of training.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all educational institutions were transferred to distance learning. Distance learning is a special type of knowledge acquisition, in which the interaction of student and teacher is carried out through information and communication technologies.
Online classes have their advantages and disadvantages. Among the significant advantages of distance learning are the following:
• Ability to study anytime, anywhere, as well as combine training with work. Students can study without leaving home or office, being anywhere in the world.
• Availability of training materials. Access to all necessary literature is opened to the student after registration in the distance learning system, or he receives educational materials by e-mail
• Study in a calm environment. Intermediate certification of distance learning students takes the form of on-line tests. Therefore, students have less reason to worry.
• Individual approach. In traditional teaching, it is difficult for a teacher to pay the necessary amount of attention to all students in the group, to adjust to the pace of work of each. The use of remote technologies is suitable for organizing an individual approach.
• Convenience for the teacher. Teachers, tutors, teachers engaged in pedagogical activities remotely can pay attention to more students and work, even while on a business trip or at a conference abroad.
However, distance learning is not without a number of disadvantages that are very significant.
• Strong motivation is needed. Practically all the study material is mastered by the distance student independently. This requires sufficient willpower, responsibility and self-control. Most likely, no one will encourage or encourage him to study. Not everyone is able to maintain the right pace of learning without outside control.
• Lack of practical skills. It is quite problematic to organize distance learning in the areas of training and specialties, which provide a large number of practical classes. Even state-of-the-art computer simulators will not replace future managers of “live” practice.
• Distance education is not suitable for the development of sociability. In distance learning, personal contact of students with each other and with teachers is minimal, or even completely absent. Therefore, this form of training is not suitable for the development of sociability, confidence, teamwork skills.
Despite its many shortcomings, distance learning still provides better learning options for students who want to enjoy greater convenience and flexibility in studying the course.
The biggest advantage of distance education is that it allows students to access numerous learning tools using minimal financial resources. Learning online even becomes more interactive with video conferencing software. This improves the ability to acquire and maintain knowledge in the subject.
The project is implemented by Chernihiv Polytechnic National University in cooperation with the Human Rights Foundation and the University of Tartu (Estonia). The project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia.
