There was a change in the usual rhythm of life with the forced need to limit social activity during the spread of coronavirus infection in the world. There was an urgent need to implement educational programs for all educational institutions, in connection with which the educational process was transferred to the distance learning format. This form of education in modern conditions has a number of advantages, and, at the same time, a number of limitations that can affect the assimilation of material and the quality of education in general.
The aim of our study was to examine the attitude of foreign students to online learning and the use of the Moodle system, to assess the quality of perception of the course and the convenience of studying the presented material.
Students answered blocks of questions about their attitudes to the experience of participation in distance learning, the methods that teachers used during online classes and attitudes of students to the online learning in general. Students noted the positive aspects of distance learning, such as improving the quality of the educational process, the ability of students to show independence and individuality, the availability of information at any time, the ability to diversify classes and make them interesting, as well as high manufacturability, more objective system assessment of students’ knowledge, promotion of intensive mental activity of the teacher and the student, as well as the perception of self-analysis of knowledge and experience.
According to our experience and the results of the analysis of the study, we believe that the development of information and educational environment of medical university using distance learning and knowledge control by expanding the tools of personalized learning is promising, but as an additional method that cannot replace practical classes for students in the usual form of education.
