Use of Modern Communicative Opportunities during Distance Learning in Institution of Higher Education

Abstract

The introduction of new technologies makes it possible to implement a wider range of methods and techniques in distance learning. The relevance of research on the quality, efficiency and potential of modern communication channels is gaining momentum in the modern educational paradigm. The purpose of the study is to consider the educational potential of high-tech means of communication and applications that allow expanding modern communication opportunities during distance learning in the free economic zone. Methods: system and logical analysis; information synthesis method; experimental method and questionnaire; systematization, generalization. Results: 42 respondents (student-volunteers) took part in the experimental research. In order to determine the technological and communicative readiness of the respondents, preliminary tests were introduced, and at the end of the experiment post-tests. The results of the experimental study proved that in the process of mastering communication skills during distance learning significantly increases the number of high-tech technical means used, which has a positive effect on students' communication skills. The hypothesis that high-tech communication tools that were used in the experimental group should be used in the learning process in terms of distance learning has been confirmed. The novelty of the study is that it describes and analyzes the effectiveness of the use of communicative opportunities in distance learning in order to identify the frequency of their use.
