Abstract

Modern education is in a state of transformation caused by global challenges – the COVID-19 pandemic and full-scale military aggression against Ukraine. These force majeure circumstances have actualized the problem of finding flexible, safe and effective models of organizing the educational process. Traditional classroom teaching methods, while remaining the main ones in obtaining a multifaceted educational experience, need to be supplemented with other equally effective teaching methods to ensure high quality of the educational process. Among such adaptive systems, blended learning occupies a key place.

At the same time, the issue of methodological justification for the use of multimedia tools in teaching technical disciplines, in particular computer-aided design (CAD) in the training of technical specialists, where visualization and practical skills are critically important, becomes particularly acute.

The research material is the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the problems of digitalization of education, cognitive psychology of information perception. The empirical basis of the study was formed by educational and methodological complexes of disciplines developed on the Moodle and Google Workspace platforms at the Kyiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (KNUCA) and the National University of Food Technologies (NUFT).

To achieve the goal, a set of methods was used: theoretical and methodological analysis of the literature to clarify the conceptual apparatus; comparative analysis of blended learning models (Rotation, Flex, Flipped Classroom) to determine their advantages; case study method to study the practical experience of implementing multimedia technologies in higher education; methods of infographic structuring and generalization of pedagogical experience.

The article provides a thorough analysis of the phenomenon of blended learning as a pedagogical system that combines traditional face-to-face interaction with digital online components. Cognitive aspects of the use of multimedia are revealed, in particular, which prove an increase in memorization efficiency of up to 65% when using audiovisual channels. The experience of using CAD systems and LMS Moodle, which allowed to increase student success by 15…18%, is described in detail. Blended learning models are systematized and recommendations are given for their adaptation in Ukrainian realities.

Blended learning is a strategic direction of education modernization, which allows implementing a student-centered approach. The integration of multimedia technologies and professional tools not only ensures the continuity of learning in force majeure conditions, but also contributes to the formation of "soft skills": self-organization, digital literacy and critical thinking. Prospects for further research are related to the development of adaptive algorithms for content personalization.
