SummaryThe new coronavirus infection demands the introduction of new approaches to teaching and knowledge assessment in remote format in order to preserve educational traditions. Objective. To assess the place of «testology» in remote education for medical universities’ students specializing in phthisiology. Methods. A bank of test tasks for each topic has been developed in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard (FGOS). An analysis was carried out using the Moodle block of extended statistics, according to the results of which the questions requiring correction or exclusion from the bank of the test task were amended. Results. According to the test results, average score and median were approximately the same, low asymmetry indices from –1.12 to –1.96 were noted, as well as low scores for kurtosis distribution from 1.46 to 4.13. The extended statistical test theory used in Moodle combines reliability with ease of use for the teaching staff. Conclusions.Test assignments, created as an assessment tool for phthisiology students, in accordance with the plan of the Federal State Educational Standard, allows to remotely conduct the educational process in phthisiology specialty using electronic educational environment. To increase the efficiency of the learning process at home, it is necessary to constantly make changes and adjust tasks in accordance with the indices of asymmetry of the kurtosis distribution. Remote education can be used as an additional method for medical students’ independent work in the era of digitalization, but it cannot completely replace classical education.
