Problems of functioning of modern distance learning systems

Abstract

Informatization of modern society is one of the most important features of the process of its development, which includes the formation and development of the intellectual potential of each person, improving the form and content of the educational process, the introduction of modern technologies and educational tools that allow solving modern educational tasks at the highest level. Distance learning is a form of learning that is carried out without the physical presence of a tutor and students in the same room. It was created to ensure the availability of educational resources for all participants in the educational process, regardless of its geographical location. Due to the rapid development of information technologies and the need for an accessible and flexible educational process, distance learning has become one of the most important innovations in the global educational process of the 21st century, therefore, such traditional teaching methods as university education, lections or homework are undergoing major changes today. In modern conditions, distance courses are most often implemented through distance learning systems, various educational platforms, etc. The development of distance learning technologies is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the educational process, but today there is an increasing discrepancy between the rapid spread and application of distance learning technologies by participants in the educational process. This article identifies the functional problems of modern distance education systems, in particular technical problems, problems of accessibility, ensuring information security and data protection, the quality of the educational process, as well as the problems of teachers and students in the new educational environment. Modern ways of overcoming the above problems are investigated – information technologies, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence in the context of the development of innovative technologies of informatization and intellectualization of society.
