Abstract

This paper describes the distance learning organizational aspects on analog electronics course based on Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle. By using the Moodle platform, the developed course provides to the students, regardless of location and time, access to all necessary learning materials, including homework, self-assessment tests, electronic circuits and communication tools. Moreover, in the learning process, the students have opportunity to access assessments and feedback messages, which increases their engagement and motivation. In the Moodle environment the teachers have a constant global view of student progress and have a variety of tools, such as video conferencing for discussions, sending feedback messages for homework, obtaining statistics and performing additional verifications of the separate academic groups. The analysis of the student evaluation results showed that the use of the distance learning course can increase the effectiveness of the training and create skills, such as using computer-aided design systems, information technologies and teamwork.
