Abstract

The article analyzes the results of online surveys of students regarding their attitudes to the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, distance learning is one of the world leading trends in education. This technology implements the principle of continuing education and is able to meet the evergrowing demand for knowledge in the information society. The results of online surveys of students indicate the existence of subjective obstacles to the acquisition of knowledge during distance learning, which involves a significant self-motivation of the student to study, as well as a high level of self-organization. To improve the availability of teaching materials, increase contact between teacher and student, it is necessary to involve interactive platforms that will improve the teaching process and master the necessary initial material.

The widespread introduction of distance education in 2020, due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to comply with all quarantine measures to preserve the health and lives of all participants in the educational process, has posed new challenges to higher education seekers to work together, attraction of the newest interactive platforms, and increase of a motivating factor in acquisition of new knowledge.
