Introduction

At the beginning of 2020, in conjunction with the global pandemic and quarantine restrictions distance technologies were launched as one of the main thrusts of reform and strategic development of the education system around the world (Adams, 2020; Germann et al, 2019; UNESCO, 2020). The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has recommended higher education institutions to organize the educational process remotely. UNESCO statistics on the mass transition to distance learning in a pandemic show that as of April 2020 only 53% of teachers in developed countries had experience of online teaching (UNESCO, 2020). In Ukraine, according to the government, less than 30% of Ukrainian children could qualitatively study in quarantine, and only about 20% of teachers were ready for distance learning (Lytvyn, 2020)
