Abstract

Abstract. Due to the epidemiological situation, educational institutions were forced to work by distance learning. At the same time, the training of specialists in the field of knowledge "Healthcare" has a real problem: how to give students the opportunity to master practical skills. The solution was found in the introduction of the Microsoft Teams computer platform. Before the 6-hour lesson, the teacher creates a meeting-application in the application to which he invites students with the help of e-mail boxes.

In particular, the course of otorhinolaryngology began with an introductory part, in which the teacher briefly acquainted students with the topic of the lesson, emphasized the important points, gave answers to questions.

As the program was simultaneously downloaded and installed on a smartphone, the teacher was not tied to a personal computer, but could from the phone via video chat to examine the patient, demonstrate the methods of examination, as well as changes in the ENT organs, linking the results of the examination with the diagnosis, and explain the approaches to treatment. After each examination, a short video meeting was held with an analysis of unclear points. Another option for the practical part of the lesson was an online broadcast of surgical interventions, during which students had the opportunity to see all stages of surgery, as well as hear comments. In addition, the practical part of the lesson was filled with a demonstration of educational videos.

During the second part of the lesson there was a traditional seminar discussion, during which the teacher had the opportunity to hold live two-way communication with students, to analyze interesting cases or issues.

The third part of the lesson is remote control. A database of test classes was uploaded to the Moodle platform according to the topics of practical classes. The student could take the test at a certain time on the eve of class or, if desired, in class.

Thus, the Microsoft Teams application can be used for conducting practical classes and lecturing remotely.
