Abstract

The intensity of the use of remote work and learning tools has increased significantly during the pandemic and has led to the emergence of new tools and a significant increase in the capabilities of previously developed technology platforms. The introduction of modern technologies based on software control and complex virtualization for the creation of virtual laboratory complexes in educational institutions provides virtually unlimited opportunities for organizing individual and distance forms of practical classes. Modern learning management platforms that able to integrate with the database of university students makes it possible to evaluate the quality of students’ work with various types of course learning materials in real time. The article shows that the use of virtual communication infrastructures in connection to the Moodle learning management platform will provide end-to-end control of the theoretical and practical components of the educational process and will automate the processes of preparing and conducting practical classes, which will improve the quality of the educational processand the teacher efficiency.
