Abstract

The issue of online learning has become particularly relevant recently. Developing a high-quality online course is a lot of work. The online course should not only clearly and thoroughly explain the material on the subject, but also consider examples and practical tasks, select tools for solving problems, and debug the system for checking and supporting the course. This article consistently discusses the important stages of creating online courses, worked out in practice when creating a whole block of online courses. Creating a high-quality course that teaches students modern approaches and tools used in various fields of professional activity is not the easiest task: it is important to maintain a balance between mathematical rigor and simplicity of presentation. In our opinion, lectures of such a plan should be built mathematically correctly, in compliance with the logic of presentation, contain all the necessary definitions, small but important proofs for the subject under study, for which the listener has enough knowledge, and a large number of simple and understandable examples. For students who are more prepared and interested in the subject, we offer a detailed lecture summary, including additional materials with a deeper study of the topic. In recent years, the topic of creating various online courses has become more relevant than ever, which is quite understandable. Online courses open up wide opportunities for self-education, with their help you can study various disciplines in a free mode, at a convenient time, choose your own pace for their development. In addition, you can do this remotely, from any place where there is access to the Internet.
