DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS FOR WORKING WITH ONLINE WHITEBOARDS IN HYBRID LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCASTION INSTITUTIONS

The aim of the research is to determine the effectiveness of skills in working with virtual boards during hybrid learning in higher education institutions (HEIs). The research employed the following methods: observations, calculations of normative coefficient, Student’s t-test, Cronbach’s alpha. The research established that it is possible to develop the skills of working with virtual boards as a result of the development of students’ independence. AWW board (for Group 1) and WhiteboardFox (for Group 2) were used for learning. They contributed to the development of practical oral and written speech, features of translation into a foreign language, linguistic analysis of texts of various styles and genres. Students of Group 1 believe that the biggest advantage is the use of group work with the possibility of tracking results. Students of Group 2 believe that the biggest advantage of virtual boards is independent work, the possibility of updating knowledge. It was found that students of both groups, who studied remotely and in the classroom, were able to achieve high academic results. The practical significance of the work consists in finding effective virtual boards that contribute to learning a foreign language.
