Abstract
At present, all over the globe, great changes are taking place in every area of life, which have affected the entire world population. The COVID-19 pandemic has become a sudden fitcheck not only for global health community: educational institutions almost all over the world were forced to switch to a new format of distance learning. Such a rapid transition to distance learning has become a difficult challenge for many universities. Difficulties and inconsistencies of both technical and psychological nature arose. Since there was not and there is no single scheme of distance learning in higher educational institutions, each university had to find its own answer to the urgent questions that arose. The article draws attention to the stability of higher education in the current situation. The transition to distance learning in universities did not catch the majority of teachers by surprise. In many universities there was a distance education system that successfully complemented the traditional classroom work, but did not replace it completely. The teachers were given the goal of implementing a continuous distance educational process in new conditions and the main task was to search for teaching technologies. The study deals with the immediate problem of using distance learning technologies and methods of their adaptation in relation to higher education. Particular attention is paid to the problems of a technical, organizational, psychological and everyday nature that arise during distance learning. The purpose of the article is to consider the means and opportunities offered by the Moodle distance learning system for the development and modernization of online courses for learning a foreign language at a technical university. It is concluded that despite the shortcomings of forced distance education, in a critical situation, temporary distance learning is an excellent alternative to traditional education. An effective tool for the development of distance courses is the Moodle system, since the courses based on the system contain a large amount of material, there is the possibility of switching between separate parts of the course, and there is often no need to go to third party sites to study the content. The Moodle platform is great for adapting e-learning courses to distance learning. The article used a set of theoretical and empirical research methods: theoretical analysis of literature on the topic, observation of the results of students' work in the electronic educational environment Moodle.
