Abstract

The paper defines the scientific provisions on the feasibility and effectiveness of using e-learning under conditions of quarantine restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was proved that within the use of e-learning there has been a convergence between the scientific and methodological bases and the learning process itself, and new approaches to the general didactic and information content of e-learning courses within the education process have been formed. Modern platforms of e-learning are examined and a scheme involving the synchronous technology of e-learning was formed. Within the framework of the suggested learning platform, effective learning tools under conditions of quarantine restrictions were identified, the use of which allows the most successful solution of didactic tasks facing e-learning to be ensured on the basis of the everyday use of digital media and electronic devices for learning purposes. The fractal-cluster technology of an e-learning organization was suggested for an introduction. The functional dependencies on the forms and technologies of the educational process for the efficiency of higher education were obtained. The expediency of introducing fractal-cluster structures into the organizational component of the educational process was determined. Based on the tools of the fractal-cluster approach, a model of organization of the educational process in the information-entropy format was formulated.

Highlights

IntroductionThe beginning of the XXI century was characterized by the understanding of large segments of world society that intellectual potential is a determining constructive factor in the development of civilization
The introduction of distance education systems based on computer, video, multimedia, and communication technologies has allowed this problem to be solved more effectively [29,30]
The study showed that distance education is a promising direction for the development of the modern education system, which can solve a number of urgent problems, especially under the conditions of forced isolation

Summary

Introduction

The beginning of the XXI century was characterized by the understanding of large segments of world society that intellectual potential is a determining constructive factor in the development of civilization. In the XVII century, Francis Bacon said “Knowledge is power.”. Today this wisdom has taken material shape on the scale of the whole of civilization. The evolution of information-communication technologies, the informatization of society, and changing methods of distribution and in the use of information have significantly affected the learning process. The forms and methods of e-learning contribute to the individualization of the process of the professional training of future specialists, increase the amount of independent work, help in the formation of an information culture, and encourage the use of innovative means of finding and using information
