Practical prerequisites for the creation and implementation of distance learning platforms

Abstract

The rapid evolution of information and communication technologies necessitates the incorporation of flexible, web-based educational environments that are accessible without geographical constraints. This study explores the effectiveness of LMS in providing comprehensive, adaptable, and interactive educational experiences, suitable for both instructors and students. It highlights the use of standard and innovative tools within LMS to enhance teaching productivity, meet educational objectives, and foster an engaging learning environment. Furthermore, the article discusses the development and implementation of a prototype learning management system based on the SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) standards to illustrate practical applications in distance education. Empirical evidence from surveys conducted at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and Atyrau University shows a significant trend towards the adoption of these platforms, underscoring their growing importance in meeting contemporary educational demands and preparing students for professional competitiveness in a global landscape. The findings advocate for continuous improvement of online educational platforms to ensure they meet the dynamic needs of both learners and educators in the digital age.
