 The Educational and Research Institute of Innovative Educational Technologies ensures the functioning and support of the distance learning system of WUNU, which is implemented through the modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment of the SDL “Moodle” (http://moodle.wunu.edu.ua/).

 Distance education greatly intensifies the learning process, giving it a creative character. By forming the ability to actively search for knowledge, analyze, synthesize and systematize it, students' computer literacy and communication skills are enhanced.

This system, based on the best practices of distance learning, combines the achievements of technical learning tools with distance learning technologies. The basis of the educational process using distance learning technologies is focused and controlled intensive training in a place convenient for the student, at a convenient time according to an individual schedule, with a set of special training tools and an agreed opportunity to contact the teacher. Today, every student, trainee or master who decides to study via the distance learning system can organize their independent work in any corner of our country and abroad. People of different ages and physical abilities can complete a full course of study and obtain a specialist or master's degree without leaving their village or city. This form allows students and trainees to save resources. As a result, they have the opportunity to change their profession drastically thanks to a new educational level.

 Advantages of distance learning:

1. Independent planning of the learning process.

2. Maximum provision of teaching and learning materials.

3. Consultations of qualified teachers.

4. Individualized training plan for each student.

5. The use of a flexible system of credits in the presence of previously mastered disciplines.

6. Training at a convenient time for the student.

7. Opportunity to receive quality higher education for those who cannot study in higher education institutions in traditional forms due to lack of physical capabilities or professional activities.

8. Opportunity to get another (or parallel) higher education.

9. Possibility to continue studying while abroad.

 Necessary conditions for studying:

- desire to study;

- free access to computer equipment;

- access to the Internet.

 Distance learning allows you to move to a qualitatively new level of information delivery to students and can reach a much larger audience. Web pages, virtual libraries, interactive conferences - this is the future that is already becoming a reality. Analysis of the experience of using Moodle by leading Ukrainian higher education institutions in organizing the educational process shows that Moodle can be successfully used to comprehensively support the educational process in a higher education institution not only in distance learning, but also in full-time and part-time forms of education.

 The Educational and Research Institute of Innovative Educational Technologies implements international cooperation in the Norway-Ukraine project. Professional Adaptation. Integration into the State System” (NUPASS).
