Abstract-This article proposes an integrated approach regarding the use of different software for practice-oriented training in engineering disciplines. Emphasis is placed on the formation of a unified educational space for training in engineering disciplines. An approach to the integration of a large number of application software solutions based on the "Moodle" distance learning shell was developed. Examples of the developed training courses for the engineering disciplines are presented. Examples include the use of the proposed approach for "Machine Parts" and "Theory of Machines and Mechanisms" technical training courses in terms of practice-based learning.

This work is devoted to the creation of a laboratory workshop (virtual) for open online courses based on programs of three-dimensional computer graphics and multimedia. The issues of using SolidWorks, Autodesk® 3DS MAX software in distance learning are discussed. The software was used to prepare training materials for the courses course "Machines and mechanisms theory", "Computer Graphics" and "Engineering and Computer Graphics". Using the software product SolidWorks, Autodesk® 3DS MAX has significantly increased the visibility of the course and develop tools for organizing the independent work of students in an interactive mode.

Open-source software has been a vast topic of thought and discussion since its inception. Many companies and developers did not understand for what purpose open-source software was developed, and some even opposed the existence of such solutions. Others, on the contrary, supported and still support the creation and distribution of this kind of programs, despite their unprofitableness. One of these programs is Moodle. It is a free web application that provides the ability to create websites for online learning, created in the early 2000s. Anyone can easily create or modify their own learning platform for free and without problems with copyright and licenses. The platform supports a huge number of languages, is constantly updated, and is also easy and convenient to customize. The user can add and customize his plugins and addons. The system has found wide application in connection with the emergence of COVID-19, since most schools and universities have switched to distance learning. Moodle functionality allows you to collect more than 50 users in one session without losing productivity. The platform has a built-in mechanism for authorizing users, including a login and password, which will not allow intruders to carry out unauthorized access to personal data of users. Teachers can leave the necessary files and recordings of classes on the platform for learners to access them. This article discusses the goals and issues of creating open-source software, its customization and application for solving problems of various kinds of activities, including the organization of multi-user educational platforms using the Moodle platform.
