Abstract

The article describes the results of research on the peculiarities of the mixed form of education at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Sumy National Agrarian University. The application of mixed distance education is a response to the modern challenges facing the education industry in the context of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukraine. The creation of administrative structures and appropriate technical support on the basis of the university should be a mandatory element for the successful cooperation of a student and a teacher in an educational environment. In order to successfully implement blended learning with elements of distance education, an educational institution must have a reliable and flexible information infrastructure that supports various types of student-teacher interaction, as well as provides universal access to technological tools that allow students to learn. It is advisable to transfer information support to virtual space (virtual storage), which will ensure the preservation of information and access to the system in case of equipment damage. The use of the «Moodle» system at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with a mixed form of education in most cases solves the task of organizing the educational process. Continuity and quality of the educational process for vocational education are important goals in the state of emergency. Distance learning courses can be conducted both synchronously and asynchronously, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages, but when using any course, the relationship between the teacher and the student is important. Special attention should be paid to the quality of materials used for distance courses. Emphasis on rapid transition to distance learning in times of crisis potentially risks reducing the quality of courses taught and requires faculty to exercise greater control over course design and implementation. In a higher educational institution, it is necessary to establish a certain level of control over the conduct of classes and the presence of students, but taking into account the possible absence of both students and teachers of the Internet and/or power supply. The implementation of virtual classes does not exclude the need for asynchronous interaction between the teacher and the student through a forum or email dialogue.
