This paper presents an approach to teaching based on an industrial automation laboratory using e-learning. The approach is suitable for both in-class and remote access. It is based on providing remote access to laboratory facilities dedicated to industrial automation. A teaching platform is integrated into Moodle, an open-source e-learning system. Remote desktop programs were developed to allow students to access a remote PC and control the automation equipment. An IP camera is used to verify the operation. Each time a course is completed, or after any other activity in which the remote laboratory is used, a survey is made to assess the student's level of satisfaction and perceived degree of difficulty of the coursework. The results of the surveys from 25 graduate students per year are presented and discussed.

This study aims to analyze the level of readiness of higher education institutions in implementing e-learning during COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this study also tries to analyze the level of satisfaction in using e-learning at higher education. This study applied a survey method by sending online questionnaires to lecturers at various universities in West Sumatra. 112 respondents participated in this study. Based on the data, it was found that the level of technological readiness and human resources readiness at universities in West Sumatra are in the ready category, but still need a little improvement. Meanwhile, the levels of readiness of innovation and self-development are categorized as unprepared, and need improvement. Furthermore, this study also shows that the level of satisfaction of e-learning users is still quite satisfied.

This article describes the competency-based approach to e-learning education that utilizes remote access to the laboratory equipment. The main focus of the paper is the structure and design of the e-learning system used in the Southern Federal University (Russia). The article discusses the related pedagogical strategies and presents system's features in the context of the education for skilled workers. This approach uses access to the scientific and technology laboratory equipment either for provisioning of the individualized educational programs or to enable the students who are unable to attend a conventional laboratory for a variety of reasons, such as disability, and part-time study to conduct the experimental work. It will be shown that the experimental work involving the modern scientific equipment is an important aspect of the learning process in the areas of material science and nanotechnology. The learning strategy is the reverse of that used in the traditional approach. The authors suggest to start with the introduction to the practical applications of science and technology relevant to the current job market, and study the general laws and theoretical principles afterwards, to deepen understanding and achieve the educational goals.

Remote Laboratory for Measuring Linear Dimensions with remote access and control via Internet is developed and described in this paper. The system is realized at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences. This lab is dedicated to the students of secondary vocational schools and faculties with the aim to gain knowledge regarding linear dimension and mechanical component tolerance. Every user of this set-up is able to interact, observe and learn through the real measurement processes via communication infrastructure.

This paper describes the use of experiential learning theory in the development of an undergraduate subject in collaborative systems. The purpose of the subject was to introduce students to the design, development and use of collaborative systems in organizational environments. Early in the subject’s development it was decided that in order for students to gain a deeper understanding of the issues involved in the development of collaborative systems, they should collaborate using an e-learning system so that they could experience these problems first hand. The paper provides an overview of the subject structure, the views of students with regard to the learning approach and some of the outcomes that were observed. The findings revealed that the experiential approach was successful in providing students with a good understanding of the issues associated with the design and use of collaborative systems. However, while many achieved deeper learning outcomes than would normally be provided by a traditional didactic approach, there were students who failed to achieve the desired learning levels. The findings not only provide support for Perry’s model of intellectual development and the value of setting unstructured problems, but also demonstrate the need for structure in early experiential events to which students are exposed.

Electronic education has been an integral part of the educational process at higher education institutions for more than a decade. However, it had had rather a supporting role in Ukraine before the pandemic, whereas today it is crucial to provide full-fledged learning, communication and collaboration for all educational process participants with the help of electronic resources. Therefore, there is a need in modernization of the electronic learning system of the university according to current requirements and challenges. The article outlines the ways the e-learning system changes implementation using the example of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. The attention is paid to educational environment personalization for different participants of the learning process, possibilities for information arrangement and monitoring. Thanks to the arrangement of electronic learning courses (ELC) according to the created educational programmes in the e-learning system, students have access to current information about all disciplines which belong to a definite educational professional or scientific programme: distribution by semesters, forms of control, progress in the courses, etc. At the same time it provides administration with the possibility to track activities of applicants for education and academic staff in every educational programme. Electronic deanery module implemented in Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University e-learning system allows to monitor educational process, get access to current data on every ELC progress rate and also to personalize the educational process for every student through individual learning plans. With the help of the e-learning system students can get remote access to the materials of all disciplines, fulfil tasks, send them to teachers for review and take tests. The blocks in the user's personal dashboard allow to get quick access to communication and collaboration tools for online classes arrangement, group work and receiving feedback from teachers, to the University’s library and other useful resources that simplify educational process arrangement.

Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) has been declared a world pandemic by WHO. This virus and disease are known to have started in the city of Wuhan, China since December 2019. As of March 21, 2020, the number of cases of this disease has reached 275,469 people, spread across 166 countries, including Indonesia. Prevention is the key to deciding the transmission process so it is necessary to carry out a process of increasing knowledge through an e-learning system. Method: This research is analytic with cross sectional design with 188 participants. This study uses a questionnaire measuring tool that is accessed online and analyzed into univariate and bivariate Result: The use of e-learning has proven to be an effect in increasing paramedics knowledge about COVID-19. From the results of Wilcoxon's analysis, there are differences in knowledge before and after the use of e-learning. The average post-test score has increased by about 72 when compared to the pre-test mean score. Conclusion: Some paramedics already have good knowledge about COVID-19, but the use of e-learning has proven to be effective in increasing paramedic knowledge. Keywords: COVID - 19, e - learning, knowledge.
