Functioning of distributed models of interaction between students and teachers

Abstract

In the context of global changes taking place everywhere due to the need to support and develop the field of education in the context of a pandemic and an increase in the number and possibilities of electronic technologies and the availability of the Internet around the world, it is necessary to note the importance of using distance technologies in the learning process, including foreign languages. In the last few decades, the emergence of multimedia technologies has led to a sharp leap in the development and promotion of distance learning. Nowadays, when there are an infinite number of electronic devices that provide access to the Internet, social networks (Telegram, Viber, Facebook), with which it is possible to establish communication in real time and video telephone services (for example, Google Meet and Zoom), the organization of the distance learning process no longer seems so difficult, as in the XVIII, when the form of education through postal mail was first offered. During the pandemic, the volume of use of video telephone services increased significantly compared to the previous period. For example, in April 2020, the number of users of Google Meet video conferences became 30 times more than in January, and amounted to approximately 100 million per day. The competing Zoom service has reached a value of 200 million users per day.
