Changes in the use of the Moodle platform by students at different levels of training depending on the period of restrictions due to Covid-19

The use of modern innovative information technology in education is a promising direction in pedagogical science as it enables the provision of educational services through a specialized information educational environment – a complex of information resources and technical instruments and channels of communication that provides for the exchange of educational information over long distances. In today's conditions, despite the alleviation of restrictive measures, the problem of organizing distance learning continues to be relevant. The purpose of the study is to identify and compare the views of undergraduate and graduate students on the use of the Moodle system in university education depending on the period of restrictions caused by COVID-19. Based on a survey of university students engaged in distance learning during the period of quarantine restrictions using the Moodle platform, the authors analyze the specific features of student registration on this e-learning platform and determine the peculiarities of the use of Moodle by students depending on the period of restrictions introduced due to COVID-19. It is concluded that the Moodle platform is highly popular in the sphere of higher education and acts as an effective instrument for organizing distance learning under quarantine restrictions.
