METHODOLOGY OF CREATION AND APPLICATION OF VIRTUAL LABORATORY WORK IN THE PROCESS OF DISTANCE LEARNING

Abstract

Remote communication has changed the way people communicate and interact. Online training using information and communication tools has replaced traditional offline training in educational institutions, partner meetings, etc., changing the form of training. The situation of social distancing is making changes in the field of education, since the education system was not ready for homeschooling for all students. The students did not have the opportunity to communicate directly with each other in a social environment, they had to adapt to new conditions.  In the context of online learning, the effectiveness of the quality of education has changed significantly.In addition to holding online conferences with students through the Google Meet, Zoom platforms, it was necessary to include online educational resources in the educational process for obtaining additional education. The students first studied at video conferences, then completed their homework and placed them in the cloud of their class, but this required a high-speed Internet connection, smartphones and laptops.Unequal opportunities for students due to their social conditions, namely incomplete Internet and computer coverage, lack of support from parents and platforms necessary to facilitate online learning, made it difficult for students to receive a quality education. The education system around the world has been forced to adapt to new conditions and has undergone major changes.In this regard, we have developed a three-dimensional digital learning platform in the conditions of distance learning with the possibility of interactive interaction with all participants of the educational process using the C# and C++ programming languages.Based on our research, a cross-platform application «Alternative Education» was created with the ability to interact in real time.The cross-platform application «Alternative Education» allows you to conduct various experiments, immerse yourself in a virtual environment with laboratories where you can view and explore planets in 3D, as well as learn and interact with all participants in the educational process through voice communication in real time.Virtual reality (VR) is a computer environment in which scenes and objects seem real, here the user feels immersed in the environment. The article considers the problem of using the cross-platform application «Alternative Education» in the educational process, developed on the basis of our research.
