Abstract:
The development of information technology affects all sectors of human life, including the education sector. One of the promising areas of research in the field of pedagogy is the use of the capabilities of mobile and cloud technologies. Currently, the issues of increasing the efficiency of independent work of students come to the fore in the context of the use of Internet technologies.

The analysis of research in the field of application of mobile technologies in education showed that the concept of “mobile learning” is multifaceted and includes both the technical side of the issue and the pedagogical component. From a technical point of view, mobile technologies are not inextricably linked with cloud technologies for storing and processing information. The essence of cloud technologies lies in the fact that in cloud computing, data is permanently stored on virtual servers located in the cloud, and is also temporarily cached on the client side on devices such as computers, laptops, mobile devices, etc. Users are provided with remote access to applications, services and computing resources via the Internet. The pedagogical component shows the importance of the issue of methodology for the application of mobile and cloud technologies in education. The purpose of our research is to consider the application of mobile and cloud technologies in the school system.

Researches of scientists Mavengere N., Ruohonen M., Jotsov V., Kerimbayev N., Keengwe J., Bhargava M., Al-Qatawneh S., et al are aimed at studying the problems of virtual and blended learning using innovative technologies.

The mobile cloud application is designed to enhance communication between students and teacher and facilitate feedback. The teacher is assigned to administer the application. The application has sections and services for students and teachers. The developed mobile application can be used as an auxiliary tool.

The problem of virtual learning is currently very relevant. In this paper, a detailed analysis is carried out and the practice of using mobile-cloud computing in the process of online learning is considered in detail. The result of the study is the creation of a platform for online courses for students using modern technologies.
As part of our research, a mobile application has been developed that allows you to organize virtual learning using mobile cloud technologies. Our team has developed a platform that uses all the possibilities of distance learning, since the problem of distance learning is currently very urgent. We used mobile cloud computing to develop a web application for mobile devices. The reasons for choosing a mobile cloud were the following parameters: speed, shared resources, fast and secure data collection and sending.
