Quality of Distance Learning in the Context of Digital Transformation

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to examine the most popular digital tools used in distance learning and to assess their impact on the quality of education.

Tasks. The authors analyze existing digital tools aimed at improving the quality of distance learning; assess changes in the quality of education during the transition to distance learning.

Methods.The main results of the study are obtained using comparative, structural, and systems analysis, methods of theoretical and analytical generalization.

Results. The main types of digital tools are analyzed: educational platforms, video services, planners, digital creative tools, game technologies, interactive supporting technologies. Their gradual implementation in the educational process would improve the quality of distance learning, bringing it closer to the quality of the traditional learning system. The problems of implementing digital tools in distance learning and their possible solutions are formulated.

Conclusions.Despite a variety of tools allowing students and teachers to work together online, the quality of distance learning in Russia is low. The reasons for this include the lack of technical support for teachers and students (lacking stable Internet connection, powerful servers, computer equipment), limited digital competence, and insufficient government support in providing the necessary resources for the participants of the educational process.
