TO THE QUESTION OF PROSPECTS AND PROBLEMS OF DISTANCE LEARNING AT UNIVERSITIES

The authors of the review refer to such a modern and relevant educational practice as distance learning. Distance educational technologies meet the needs of the time, are enshrined in law and are quite actively implemented in practice in civilian universities and, to a limited extent, in educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. On the other hand, the indispensability and importance of distance learning technologies in the study of theoretical issues was clearly demonstrated during the pandemic of the COVID-19. During the pandemic, remote forms of implementing educational programs became not just an addition to the traditional ones, involving personal communication between cadets and students with teachers, but the main, and sometimes the only possible ones in order to ensure the safety of life and health of the participants of educational process. It was necessary to transfer into a remote format all kinds of classes that make up a physics course at a medical university: lectures, practical classes, and, what seems to be the most difficult, the laboratory work at a proper level. The review article analyzes the literature that reveals both positive and problematic aspects of distance learning, mainly for physics cadets and students of medical and other universities in order to develop possible recommendations on the use of positive experience in educational process. The results of sociological surveys, reflecting the attitude of participants of educational process to distance learning technologies, were also analyzed.
