Abstract

Modern society is faced with such unprecedented challenges as COVID-19, which in the globalization context can lead to a collapse in all activity spheres, including education. During the lockdowns, which will be similar to those undertaken against the pandemic backdrop, there is a need for a forced transition from class teaching to online forms. At the pandemic beginning, enough time has passed to assess the accumulated experience, comprehend the problems, both those that were resolved and those that could not be resolved promptly. The study made it possible to compare the effectiveness of using different virtual environments for organizing training for engineers, as well as to analyze the training content and its differences from what is used in traditional class training. Different students’ groups were selected for the case study in order to compare their participation in the process with traditional and online forms of education, as well as their performance. In addition, an analysis was carried out of how the education form affects the quality of their projects and recommendations were formulated for the further development of new education forms.
