The introduction of quarantine during the pandemic made adjustments to the retraining process. Training of students is organized in two directions:
– online: through lectures and practical classes in the form of video conferences with the help of Zoom Video Communications, which allowed teachers to communicate with students in real time;
– offline: through the involvement of students in a special platform “Modular learning environment – MOODLE” – https://msn.khmnu.edu.ua/ , where they were able to independently develop basic and additional learning material for each discipline. Since students are not entered into a single electronic database of the university, they were provided with a single login and password to log in; a community in the popular Vider messenger was created to coordinate the educational process and organize the final control activities (tests, exams); An e-mail hcre@khmnu.edu.ua was created to control the success of mastering each discipline.
Such organization of education is not new for Khmelnytskyi National University. After all, in 2001 the Khmelnytskyi National University (KhNU) decided to deploy its own distance learning program, which is being implemented so far. Under the project, up to 2,000 students receive higher education in 11 areas and specialties of full, reduced terms of study and obtaining a second higher education.
Within the information system of the university since 2006 there is a subsystem “Modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment” (MOODLE), which is focused on full-time and part-time students, and today during quarantine it is a platform for organizing the distance learning educational process.
