recommended the election of a large auditorium (possible conference room) and each
small research group should have access to the Internet.
By using cloud services (specifically Google Spreadsheets) the heads of the
research groups granted access to the online resource, which has criteria for project
evaluation and personal sheet for each group where they put points and comments to
their competitors.
At this stage, the representatives of teaching staff are observers, according to
observance of procedure of determining the winner.
As noted above, the table is stored in the cloud. The access to edit table is closed
for 3-7 minutes after last report. According to the automatic scoring, the determination
of rating of the conquered places is automatic.
Note: the participants should not see the final list, until the end of the completion of
the assessment. This is done to reduce the possibility of "manipulation" of data.
The results are reported no later than 15 minutes after the completion of all
reports. According to the results, for small research groups (academic groups), studying
information discipline in the current semester there is reason to talk about the
possibility of early getting good grades in the exam. The possibility of obtaining exam
scores is only possible for those students who have fully completed all tasks of the
curriculum of the discipline. The best articles, according to the decision of the
Department’s faculty, may be recommended for participation in competition of
student's scientific works, or for publication in scientific journals.
Thus, the implementation of the model table "Organization of research work of
students in the learning process of the computer science disciplines" enables full use
of cloud oriented learning technologies and ensures the implementation of research-
based training. In particular, there is the solution of a number of interdisciplinary
research problems, such as: the change of attitude towards the student (from passive
participant to active researcher, student is part of the scientific community); conducting
academic research and receiving new competencies; students create their own
approaches to research; students form own ideas and perceptions; students realized
analysis of work carried out.
Recommendations for the structure and content of e-learning materials in the
study of cloud-oriented learning technologies
Recommendations for the structure and content of e-learning materials in the
study of cloud-based learning technologies are summarized in the table “Structure and
recommendations for the content of the research topic” (component "E-learning
materials in Moodle LMS") (Table 2).
Here is an example of implementation of this table in the system of distance
learning Moodle (Fig. 1).
