Electronic course development for future engineers training

Abstract

Due to the necessity of implementing the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, there is a need to use electronic information in educational environment. The article considered creation of an electronic course in the context of blended learning, since this approach seems to be one of the most effective, bringing better results. The educational process in this case is based on integration and blending of traditional and e-learning technologies. Materials were placed in the electronic educational environment Moodle. Objective: to identify features of the development of an electronic course for future engineers. A training scheme how to blend traditional model and e-learning is introduced. The recommendations on the selection of educational material are provided. For the 1st year students whose major is engineering and construction control of the teacher and is extremely important. Thus, an electronic course of «Basics of Geology» was developed to combine blended learning and traditional approach. Special recommendations for creating such a course are developed. A scenario for the development of the training course consisting of several stages is proposed. We have analyzed the implementation of this course into practice.
