Abstract

This article presents the experience of using blended learning methods and digital technologies to organize the educational process at Sumy State University. Based on the experience of using a combination of classical models of blended learning and interactive digital technologies in the educational process, a unified complex model has been proposed. The classic model of a flipped classroom is integrated with project approach to provide the collaborative problem-solving methods in the proposed model. The group-project approach for solving collective tasks is described step by step. The purpose of the research is to elaborate the complex structure of the blended learning model, including the educational load distribution, which will meet the requirements for teaching multiple subjects and different disciplines.
