“…In the literature on school and university education, a great number of didactic instruments have been described and the results of their implementation into practice have been evaluated (Bykadorova & Skibitsky, 2009;Kybartaite et al, 2010;Diaz Redondo, 2012;Jung, 2013;Hornos et al, 2012;Uzun, 2012, Asoodar et al 2014Grammes & Açıkalın, 2016;Tarman & Acun, 2010;Tarman, 2016). All of them to any extent allow for knowledge absorption and improving academic performance (Demirhan & Yücel, 2016).…”

The relevance of the study depends on addressing to the issue of knowledge management in learning and instructing students of post-Soviet sector universities. In this regard, the article is intended to reveal the nature of knowledge management approach compared to the knowledge-based one predominated in Soviet education. The flagship approach of this study is the systemic-activity approach to explain knowledge management advantages for learning and instructing social disciplines in sector universities. The relevant literature is reviewed to show evolution of approaches. It is stated that knowledge reflecting specificity of an industry may be defined as industry-oriented and can be represented by a new international web standard (ontology). To determine significant factors for knowledge absorption with the proposed approach an experiment was conducted. The results prove the didactic potential of ontologies, so the knowledge management approach is considered promising. This article may be of practical interest for professors of sector universities.

“…All course elements of MOODLE are presented in a flat view so teachers can easily hide specific sections when required and elements can be moved up or down just with two clicks of the mouse (Dougiamas, 2004 and learning as a modern alternative to using such applications and a good illustration of these systems which is undergoing a worldwide popularity is MOODLE. Uzun (2012) maintains that by applying online foreign language learning the learner rather than the teacher decide about the process, the individual needs and interests come before the contents, and assistance to learners in learning the foreign language instead of teaching them makes the main philosophical principle. Stickler and Hampel (2013) argue that there is a direct connection between socioconstructivist theories of learning and the context of language learning; in other words, language learners are more proficient in terms of using and understanding of a foreign language through collaboration and in co-construction with other learners.…”

Abstract-The present research examined the impact of collaborative discovery learning using Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) platform on the learning of conditional sentences by Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. In addition, attitudes of the participants were investigated towards virtual learning and MOODLE Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) through three face to face semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the data was done through the analysis of the ttest. Finally, it was concluded that the experimental group outperformed the control group; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the achievements of two groups. Moreover, the interviews data indicated that the participants had an overall positive attitude towards virtual learning and MOODLE VLE.

The features of using the Internet as a learning resource are described in the research. The necessity of using new educational technologies in the educational process because of the development of information and communication technologies is substantiated. The expediency of using the Internet resources of different purpose and complexity for learning Latin language as well as the list of web-sites is presented. The Internet Information Network offers a huge number of learning and informative materials different in form and content that greatly enhances students’ interest in learning Latin and medical terminology as well as their opportunities to find, study and master the material. Much attention is paid to the use of the Internet by the rising experts in medicine during their independent study of the Latin language. The web resources of the Internet provide access to a wide range of achievements of world science and technology. This is evidenced by a large number of electronic resources of learning, reference, illustrative, game-like and literature content that can affect personal development, education and competence of the students. The access to new information materials is a powerful source of complementation of the theoretical and intellectual component of Latin learning. Using Internet information resources, wisely integrating them into the learning process, makes it possible to cope with a range of both didactic and social as well as cultural tasks more effectively: development of reading skills by using the materials of the network of different degrees of complexity; improvement of writing skills; increase of vocabulary with professional Latin terms; studying history of medical terms, their etymology. As a result of the study the conclusion has been drawn that the Internet with a variety of information and resources has a positive effect on the effectiveness of teaching the Latin language along with the development of motivation and interest of the students. The purposeful and competent use of the Internet resources in teaching Latin significantly improves the efficiency of the learning process and facilitates the study of vocabulary and grammar.
