Abstract:

In connection with the new conditions of education, it is necessary to create fundamentally new procedures not only in higher education but also in lifelong learning. A great benefit of such an approach is the use of the experience of teachers of domestic and foreign universities as well as experts from practice. In the context of international education, several procedures have been tested that will allow teachers of one university to participate in education at another university.

The work presents some procedures focused mainly on the training of teachers in the field of applied informatics. These are mainly the teaching of robotics in the form of distance teaching, analysis of gamification methods in teaching students, the use of AR technologies in teaching computer science.

For many countries near and far abroad, robotics is the basis for training specialists in high technology. However, in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all our social interactions decreased significantly. This has led to the transition of universities to distance learning for students. Teachers were given the task of providing quality lessons in a distance learning environment. In natural cycle subjects as well as in robotics, practical skills are key in the learning process. Therefore, this article is devoted to the teaching of robotics in the distance mode. The aim of the study is to provide an analysis platform (Tinkercad Circuits and Webots) for modeling and programming robots that can be used in distance learning.
