Abstract

Many Ukrainian universities successfully use MOOCs, YouTube channels, their own distance courses and other electronic materials together with the printed textbooks, dictionaries etc. in educational process. Before COVID-19, a new version of Moodle was installed at Lviv National Environmental University (LNEU) server and newer versions of distance courses were compiled for students of different specialties at LNEU five Faculties. Because of COVID-19 as well as the Russian-Ukrainian war, the rate of compiling the distance courses at the University became slower. That is why the teaching staff of LNEU decided to use online courses out of Ukrainian and foreign MOOC platforms as additional educational materials for distance courses, textbooks, lecture courses, etc. Our university students also analyzed different MOOC platforms and tried to search for the online courses and other electronic educational materials for their specialties in the form of research work. The results of the first-year students’ research were discussed at the Ukrainian and international student’s conferences and summed up in our report in 2022. The purposes of the present report are as follows: to describe the prospects of further search for educational material from MOOC platforms, other electronic resources for the second-year students and the materials analysis; to present the ways of spreading the results of students’ research work and participation at the scientific conferences for exchanging their experience in usage of the reviewed materials; and to represent some electronic education materials discussed by professors of different Ukrainian HEIs and implemented for their students as well as the software and other materials created by the teaching staff of LNEU for the first- and second-year students.
