Abstract

The article looks into the issue of developing methodical requirements for the structure and content of online courses. The study is dedicated to the analysis of peculiarities of developing the content of online systems and developing methodical recommendations to educational materials for online courses of training higher school mathematics teachers. The research considers the experts’ experience in preparing, structuring and developing the content for online courses and answers to volunteers who have agreed to test the educational materials of the course. The answers given by the participants have allowed estimating the quality of the developed course and detecting its insignificant drawbacks. The article discusses general requirements to the structure and content of the online course, means for the implementation of a testing subsystem, peculiarities of developing educational video content and educational materials in PDF format, issues of implementing forum and survey subsystems, as well as means of estimating learning outcomes. We have grounds to conclude that the quality of the course is determined by the range of factors, among which we point out the course organization based on weekly planning, implementation of a testing subsystem under conditions of extended functionality, creation of abilities to organize feedback.

Introduction

1.1 Problem statement and its topicality substantiationAchieving sustainable development through on-line education is the key to a better and more sustainable future for everyone. The implementation of the idea of open online education requires the development of recommendations both as technical and methodical support of online courses; and thanks to them a considerable number of people can increase their qualification or develop professional expertise. In order to implement these changes in the system of online education, we have to provide educational materials that live up to the students’ expectations. This means that giving learners the possibility to acquire some particular skills via online courses requires serious training.
