However, it is much more difficult to produce judgements of value about their quality. Quality is a subjective rather than an absolute concept and may be examined from different analytical perspectives: consumers' satisfaction level, intrinsic value of scientific and technical content of learning materials, soundness of learning strategies, efficiency of organisation and procedures, adequate use of advanced technologies, reliability of student support mechanisms, etc.
 
 These parameters should be put into the context of specific objectives, nature of target populations and availability of different kinds of resources. In a specific geographic, social, economic and cultural situation a given set of solutions might be judged as adequate and deserving the qualification of "good practice", while in a different context it could be considered of rather poor quality.
 
 The selection of examples in this article is the sole responsibility of the authors: neither should the chosen cases be considered as clearly better than any other one, nor missing cases be interpreted as lack of appreciation or a negative judgement.
 
 Finally, the authors are aware of the risks of interpreting trends and trying to extrapolate them into the near future: readers should use their own judgement in accepting (or forcefully rejecting) these projections.

The influence of computer games over the youth of today is akin to that of the cultural influence of music, political movements and even religion on youth culture of the past. Of late, computer games have been attracting people of all kinds into using computers. They have driven the spread of computers into the lives of individuals who had earlier had no incentive to use them. Computer games are gaining unprecedented access to the homes, minds and souls of people today. Hence it has become increasingly important for game developers and educators to study the application of computers for enhancing the education offered to the next generation of students. Computer games can be used to give a better form of education and can even make computers become the unique tools of learning. The paper will present the current scenarios of computer games being used for the purposes of education and training. It will also dwell on areas in which the tremendous capabilities of computer games as an education medium can be utilized in educating a new generation of students weaned on computer games. New possibilities for computer games as tools of knowledge will also be projected.

Distance learning was first applied in the 19th century and has undergone a long way of technological improvement. It has become indispensable in the time of global pandemic. It is characterized by both advantages and challenges, and, correspondingly, in normal situations is used by adults for additional education or at any level /age in combination with traditional face-to-face education. The goal of this paper is to assess how ready we turned out to be to involuntary, caused by extreme situation of coronavirus, switching over to distance learning. The article presents results obtained from six countries – Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Nigeria, UK, and Ukraine - as well as some views of educators from several other countries. Although the samples were not representative by number of the research populations, they tried to take into consideration the strata involved (school/university teachers, younger than 30, 31-50, older than 50), in order to be trustworthy. The conclusion made is that the trend is that we (at least, in many countries, or many of us) are still rather far from ready to carry out so often declared and advertised distance learning with optimal efficiency and much work is needed to be able to switch to high-quality distance education.

Most participants of learning process note that they benefit from the possibility to gain knowledge regardless of time, location and device they use. Among other advantages possibility to return to learnt material several times, divide material into parts, consume information through different types of educational materials (video, infographics, presentations, text, quizzes etc.) are mentioned. At the same time most of the surveyed students chose that they lack personalization both of materials and studying process, limited in terms of fulfillment and would like to have a choice of the level of study. The educational trend that is able to put into practice the above mentioned requirements is blended learning as it has a range of advantages such as usability, consideration of individual abilities, additional materials introduction, activities monitoring. Although it combines offline and online learning, effectiveness of e-learning courses designed for its implementation play a crucial role. To make a learning process correspondent to the students’ needs adaptive learning can be introduced in higher education institutions. Adaptive learning is a methodology that allows to identify level of students’ knowledge and their learning styles and transform materials, tasks and ways of their delivery according to the needs of learning process participants. LMS Moodle offers different solutions for adaptive learning. They provide administrators and teachers with tools to vary all stages of a learning process starting with delivery of information and ending with assessment.

In Ukraine, the preparedness for this process was different. There were various technical problems such as the absence of Internet connection, computers, or educational materials on the network, and most importantly, the unpreparedness of teachers to perform distance learning. From 28 April to 8 May 2020 at the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University (Dnipro, Ukraine), students were surveyed on the quality of distance learning organized during the quarantine period. A total of 1224 students from almost all faculties and centers took part in the survey and answered 19 questions in an online form developed in Office 365 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA). The survey algorithm is based on the principle of cross-validation. According to the survey, the most important opportunities of distance (digital) learning are as follows: the opportunity to study in a convenient place, in a comfortable and familiar environment—28.57%; the opportunity to combine work with study—16.97%; the development of self-control skills and motivation to self-educate—16.43%; and the technical level of the learning process (use of information technologies)—13.83%. The aspects that negatively affect the organization of full-scale distance learning are as follows: the large volume of tasks—16.80%; the rapid fatigue due to prolonged work in front of a computer—16.35%; the absence of necessary equipment and/or constant (stable) access to the Internet—15.33%. In conclusion, ways to overcome the difficulties of distance learning, both by universities and by the government, are suggested.

Unfortunately, the story is different as so many universities are yet to key into this policy. Purpose: This study investigated the quality of the system and postgraduate students' use of open educational resources in federal universities in South-West, Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to find out how postgraduate students at federal universities in South-West Nigeria used open educational resources. Method: The study's research design is a correlational survey design and includes 9,436 master's degree students as its population; using quota sampling, the sample size is 377. 377 copies of the questionnaire were given in total, and 330 of those were determined to be usable, indicating an 88% response rate. With a criterion mean of 2.50, the data was analyzed using inferential statistics to address the research objectives. Findings: As a result, the following findings were reached. In South-West Nigerian federal universities, postgraduate students have access to excellent quality open educational resources. Postgraduate students use university-based free educational resources to a very little extent. The use of Open Educational Resources (OER) by postgraduate students at universities is negatively correlated with the quality of systems. Conclusion: The study thereby recommends that OER platform providers should ensure they sustain the system quality of OER repositories in order to attract more students to its usage and there should be training and retraining such as workshops to educate the postgraduate students on how to use OER.

Проаналізовано можливості таких навчальних середовищ, як Scratch, Blockly, Tynker, які, хоч і не є комп’ютерними іграми у прямому розумінні, мають ігрові елементи та інтерфейс, що сприяють кращому засвоєнню програмних понять. Окремо досліджено навчальні платформи з глибокою гейміфікацією, зокрема CodeCombat, Roblox Studio, Minecraft: Education Edition, які дозволяють школярам проходити навчання у формі інтерактивних сценаріїв, розвивати обчислювальне мислення, креативність і навички командної роботи. Визначено ключові критерії вибору платформ: доступність, відповідність віковим особливостям і адаптивність до технічних обмежень. Запропоновано класифікацію освітніх ресурсів для навчання програмування за рівнем складності та цільовим призначенням. Досліджено вплив гейміфікованих підходів на мотивацію школярів: інтерактивність, візуалізація результатів та змагальні елементи підвищують зацікавленість, зменшують тривожність і формують впевненість у власних силах. На основі аналізу літературних джерел та наявного педагогічного досвіду зроблено висновок, що ігрові підходи можуть бути ефективним інструментом адаптації освітнього процесу до умов дистанційного навчання, а також сприяти формуванню актуальних цифрових компетентностей у школярів. Особливу увагу приділено підготовці педагогів до використання гейміфікованих інструментів, що забезпечує сталість освітніх результатів. Наголошено на необхідності інтеграції ігрових платформ у національні навчальні програми з інформатики. Отримані теоретичні результати можуть бути основою для подальших емпіричних досліджень та вдосконалення методик викладання в умовах цифрової трансформації освіти.

A comparison of traditional and innovative education is made and attention is focused on the significance of the latter in the context of the rapid development of modern society. The article discusses in detail the characteristics and content of traditional and innovative technologies of education and upbringing, as well as their convenience for implementation in the practice of preschool education. The development of science and technology has contributed to the emergence of new forms of educational communication and the latest methods of solving educational problems. In view of this, the role of the educator has acquired a new quality. He or she develops the cognitive qualities of the preschooler, his or her life competence in various social institutions. At the same time, there is an evolution of the content, forms and methods of teaching, which encourages the development and implementation of new state-of-the-art educational technologies. Experience shows that everything new eventually becomes a tradition, and that traditions are established by society, with bright reformist personalities acting as innovators. At the present stage, it is becoming increasingly clear that traditional education, focused on the transfer of knowledge, skills and abilities, is not keeping pace with the pace of their development. The specific features of innovative learning are its openness to the future, the ability to foresee on the basis of constant reassessment of values, and the willingness to take constructive action in changing situations, based on innovative pedagogical technologies. Innovative pedagogical technologies in pedagogy are related to general processes in society, global issues, integration of knowledge and forms of social life. Innovative pedagogical technologies are considered not only as a readiness to perceive, produce and apply new things, but first of all as openness. They provide the conditions for personal development, the exercise of the right to individual creative contribution, personal initiative, and freedom of self-development. Innovative pedagogical technologies have a humanistic orientation in the education system, due to the coexistence and complex relationships in scientific pedagogy and pedagogical practice of traditional scientific pedagogy. They belong to the system of general scientific and pedagogical knowledge. They have emerged and are developing on the borderline of general innovation, methodology, theory and history of pedagogy, psychology, sociology and management theory, and educational economics. Innovative pedagogical technologies are one of the dominant trends in human development.

In the context of the war in Ukraine, the chronic stress experienced by children could hinder the learning process but also creativity, which the emotional state of the learner-player can impact. In this study, we evaluated how stressful situations such as war conditions can impact divergent thinking (DT) in creative problem solving (CPS). Different educational contexts support CPS with activities that require learners to engage in creative problem-solving. In e-learning, CPS is expected to support the development of higher-order thinking skills (Setyosari, Kuswandi & Ulfa, 2023) but can be impacted by contextual factors such as chronic stress (Kassymova et al., 2019). This study aims to evaluate a CPS task in the context of the chronic stress of Kyiv learners but also the stress endured by Ukrainian refugees abroad. For this objective, we study three aspects of DT: fluency, flexibility, and originality. We did this by giving Ukrainian participants a CPS robotic task that made them think of ways to come up with new ideas while they were living in France as refugees during a war. We aim to identify how stressful situations affect divergent thinking by comparing these two groups of learner-players in the CPS task. The early results show that the participants from Kyiv, who had lived through almost a year of war, were much more flexible and creative in their DT than the refugee participants in France. This suggests that the stressful environment in Kyiv may have contributed to the development of more original and diverse ideas, possibly due to daily problem-solving activities within war constraints. Playful situations in wartime allowed Kyiv participants to exhibit higher divergent thinking than participants in France. This suggests that wartime constraints may enhance strategies for generating novel ideas while highlighting the positive impact of engaging in game activities on divergent thinking, even in stressful situations.

Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based geoinformation platform that enables the processing of satellite data, offering substantial computing capabilities. This publication addresses the potential applications of the Google Earth Engine platform in the field of education, as well as the prerequisites and conditions for the organisation of the course for educators. The stages involved in organising the course, along with the topics and tools that formed the basis for the lectures and practical classes, are described in detail. The efficacy of the developed course is evaluated based on the responses of the participants obtained through questionnaires and a final interview. It is important to note that the application of cloud platforms for the processing of large volumes of geodata represents a current global trend, particularly within the field of education. Consequently, the development and implementation of the course for educators that is aligned with this trend constitutes a significant contribution to the advancement of innovative educational practices in Ukraine.

The role of information security in the structure of modern educational programs in informatics is considered. To solve the problem of insufficient practical training of students in the field of information security, an integrated approach is proposed based on the use of modern interactive technologies and laboratory works structured within the course "Introduction to the IT specialty". Interactive applications for laboratory works aimed at teaching the basics of information security at the level of secondary general education (in grades 10–11) are considered. Examples of laboratory works are given. The advantages of introducing interactive technologies for forming pre-professional competencies are described.

Teachers are using technology to support students’ better understanding and communicating in learning process, when teachers are using power point or videos and audios in a lesson students become more active and involved in learning as we have the experienced it our departments. The lesson process is more enjoyable with a productive outcome. Students have an active role rather than the passive role or receivers of information transmitted by a teacher, textbook, or broadcast. Moreover, technology as a successful tool support learner in performing different subjects and help them reach to their learning goals. The teacher is no longer the center of attention as the source of information, but rather plays the role of a facilitator by setting goals and providing guidelines and resources from internet website and support students’ learning activity through different technology tools.

The authors propose a generalized classification of these programs, including the following areas: content, structure, learning objectives, knowledge control model and form of organization, and describing a typed architecture of information systems consisting of several key modules (content, analytics and reporting, user management, communication). The lack of a unified classification and a systematic approach to the formation of continuing professional education programs makes it difficult to create effective intelligent information systems capable of flexibly adapting the educational process to the requirements of the labor market, current professional standards and the individual needs of students. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the impact of intelligent information systems modules on each of the categories of the proposed classification of continuing professional education programs in order to increase the effectiveness of the educational process, personalize it and meet the current needs of the economy and the professional environment. Special attention is paid to the methodology for quantifying the contribution of each module to certain aspects of the classification of additional professional education. The results obtained make it possible to develop an effective strategy for designing systems in additional professional education, improving the quality and personalization of training, as well as strengthening the theoretical and practical foundations for their further development.
