Practical Aspects of Distance learning in Graphic Disciplines at a Technical University During the Pandemic Period

Abstract

The article deals with the most important aspects to organize distance learning on the base of the Sayano-Shushenskaya branch of the Siberian Federal University, the experience of using MOODLE digital platform is described. Such a platform the possibility and peculiarities to conduct online lectures and practical classes, coursework, examinations of graphic disciplines are considered. The purpose of this article is to analyze the problems and effectiveness of distance learning in the study of graphic disciplines of students of the Sayano-Shushenskaya branch of SFU in the period of the coronavirus pandemic. Research methodology and methods. When performing and testing graphical works in a remote format, there were certain difficulties, which required the leadership of the university to change the curriculum, where the study of ACAD must be moved earlier in the term from the third semester to the second and combined with a parallel study of engineering graphics. Results of the study. The organization. and introduction of distance learning in the pandemic period allows to analyze adequately the possibilities of working in MOODLE platform just with graphical documents, on such disciplines as “Engineering Graphics”, “Technical Mechanics”, “Machine Parts”. To build the learning process in such a way as to prepare students to perform complex engineering tasks, such as course design. To increase motivation and information component in the study of graphic disciplines. The temporal order of studying the disciplines is determines and the study of the AutoCAD graphic program exactly in the period of engineering graphics learning is provided. The conclusion it is concluded that, the successful learning of graphic disciplines in distance learning will contribute to the mastery of AutoCAD by students at the initial stage, to perform individual graphic tasks and check the correctness of their solutions.
