“…It may be worthwhile to agree with researchers' hypotheses that digital-enabled distance learning can offer equivalent or better-quality education compared to traditional settings without requiring significant resources for implementation and support (Aldhafeeri & Alotaibi, 2022;Rajab, 2018;Pinheiro & Santos, 2022). These findings may contribute to the wider adoption and diffusion of elearning initiatives.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised the issue of using distance learning as a separate independent model of organizing the educational process. The purpose of the article is to analyze distance learning as a form of organizing the educational process, which is dynamically developing in response to global challenges, from the point of view of an integral approach. Accordingly, the object of the study is modern forms of distance learning as a way of organizing the educational process. To achieve this goal, an analytical research approach was used that allows correlating and identifying effective solutions taking into account the unique features of the educational system: content analysis (32 items of scientific literature were analyzed), prognostic, systemic, structural methods, as well as methods of specification and abstraction. The empirical data for the study were obtained by using a survey method, which involved 100 higher education students. Its main goal was to determine the readiness of students to perceive distance learning not only as a response to the challenges of quarantine restrictions but also as a separate form of educational activity. The results showed that despite the efforts of teachers and the use of modern digital technologies, students had to study a lot of new educational materials on their own. The transition to distance learning has led to an increase in the importance of homework and independent work compared to traditional forms of educational activities. The majority of respondents noted that despite the increase in the share of online tests and other control activities, the average academic performance has not decreased. It was found that the number of students who improved their performance did not differ from those who used traditional forms of education. As a result, many higher education students expressed the opinion that studying remotely was generally easy, despite all the obstacles. Such a positive assessment allows us to interpret distance learning as a promising and independent vector for the development of future education. The conclusions emphasize that a condition for the further development of distance education is the development of digital technologies that form the basis of the technical implementation of distance learning. We believe that distance learning should be perceived as a separate branch of the educational system. The practical significance of the study lies in proving the functioning of distance education as an original form of organization of the educational process.

“…Since the pandemic, quarantine restrictions have increased the role of remote digital education. Users have increasingly opted for distance learning through various online platforms, courses, or webinars (Pinheiro & Santos, 2022). The new shift in digital technology is driving educational institutions to adopt all new educational practices (Tsekhmister et al, 2021).…”

“…It should be noted that the teaching of history in the conditions of war is important: because even the study of events that have a thousand-year history can demonstrate the spread of fakes that have devastating consequences for modern times (Mereniuk, 2021). In addition, researchers note that the benefits of implementing distance learning in developing countries are much more powerful (Pinheiro & Santos, 2022).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the promise of distance education using digital technologies. For Ukraine, this method of education has gained additional importance, since after the beginning of the unprecedented for the 21st century. Russian military aggression, the appeal to distance education technologies has become relevant. The purpose of the article is to analyze digital distance learning platforms, determine their effectiveness and prospects for further use. The work uses general scientific research methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction). At the same time, the research is based on the principles of generalization, specification and abstraction. With the help of the comparison method, it was possible to compare the use of digital distance learning platforms in Ukraine, the USA and Saudi Arabia, where specific empirical data are presented. The research also used the axiomatic method, which provides for the ascent from theoretical statements (axioms) to specific conclusions. The conclusions concluded that distance learning is cheaper and more productive because it leaves more time for students to improve themselves and implement their own projects, and for teachers to conduct scientific work. The example of Saudi Arabia shows that a large number of students can be reached through the use of digital technologies and distance learning. This experience is useful for Ukraine. It is recommended to develop digital technologies of distance education in Ukraine, because its use will make it possible to save budget funds, guaranteeing the maximum involvement of teachers and students in the educational space.

“…We are talking about the next evolution of this form of educational process organization, using the full potential of synchronous and asynchronous learning. It is important to note that the appeal to this form of learning requires adaptation to the challenges of digitalization and globalization (Pinheiro & Santos, 2022). First of all, it refers to the acquisition of the proper level of media competencies.…”

The article is devoted to the study of social and labor relations of the digital age in the context of the development of modern education. The relevance of the article is due to the deep transformations of the current society, the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of local wars. The purpose of the publication is to analyze the phenomenon of social and labor relations in the conditions of digitalization of education. Methodology. Both general scientific methods (for example, analysis and synthesis) and special pedagogical research methods (concretization, abstraction, observation, etc.) were used. In the results the global changes in the development of the labor paradigm against the background of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the peculiarities of the organization of remote work were highlighted. A SWOT analysis of the influence of remote work on the educational process was carried out. Scientific novelty - for the first time, the transformation of social and labor relations in the process of the development of the digital society and under the influence of external challenges is comprehensively considered. The practical significance of the work lies in the formation of requirements and conditions for the development of social and labor relations in the context of future education development. The conclusions indicate that remote organization of work and training has formed new socio-labor paradigms of development.
