The article presents an innovative approach to the educational and methodological support of the educational process in a distance format. The purpose of the study is associated with the identification of such a structure and content of thematic complexes of e-learning tools, the use of which at the stage of basic training of specialists at the Maritime University would optimally meet the objectives of improving the quality of basic knowledge and competencies, the level of digital and professional literacy of industry personnel. The scientific novelty of the study is the development of the methodological concept of distance learning in the direction of increasing the efficiency of the educational process based on the thematic electronic modules developed by the author, consisting of subject-specific video blocks, to different forms of training sessions united by one topic. The author reveals the structure, content and technological features of the implementation of video blocks in the process of educational activities of students in lectures, practical and laboratory classes, as well as in the process of evaluating the success of mastering the course being studied. The article presents the qualitative results of the study, which show the effectiveness of the developed methodological concept of distance learning in the cycle of basic academic disciplines in terms of improving the level of basic training of students as a fundamental basis for professional knowledge and competencies.

The paper deals with pedagogical innovations related to the basic and foreign language training at Maritime University. The research aims to develop didactic means of training in the context of interactive technologies and the digitalization of maritime education. Considering contradictions between increasing opportunities of distance learning and insufficient development of its didactic support, we highlighted the problem, the subject, and the hypothesis of the study. The results of the experimental training course show that level of training in the experimental group of students is significantly higher than in the control group. The results obtained confirm the research hypothesis that implementing didactic complexes in distance learning format with computer support increases the efficiency of professional competencies and digital literacy skills developing in the course of training.
