Application of computer modeling to streamline the educational process

The article describes some actual issues related to computer modeling of educational processes in the context of developing information technologies and increasing use of distance learning elements. Definitions of various learning types are given: in-person, distance, interactive, collaborative. Various options of students' work are determined, such as taking notes, questioning, Case method, testing, laboratory and calculation-graphic works. Performance and evaluation criteria are defined for each of the methods. A scale for assessing the complexity of each type of work has been developed. The average integral and complex integral assessments for all criteria have been derived. As a result of comparing the average integral and complex integral assessments, it is shown that interactive learning is the most preferable among the other types of learning considered in this article. Interactive learning contributes to improving the quality of education through the possibility of interaction between participants in the learning process. The possibility of active joint search for information, its discussion, comprehension and application make the interactive learning option more productive in terms of motivation of students.
