Distance Education
1С Platform Based Solution
Abstract
Distance learning has received an additional impetus for development and more widespread adoption in connection with the coronavirus infection outbreak (COVID-19). With a purpose of the infection risk minimization restrictive measures have been introduced (and are still effecting in one form or another) in almost all countries including Russian Federation. For the education sector this meant a complete or partial transition to online learning.
This article discusses 1C platform configuration – the software product designed for distance learning implementation. Within the configuration framework the whole range of actions related to distance courses creation, conduct and development is possible. All users are assigned roles depending on who they are: teachers, students or other employees of educational organization. Each of these roles has its own permissions set. For example, the teacher can create courses, create and conduct tests and video conferencing, receive information about attendance, as well as other activities related to teaching. The student can complete assignments, view their results, communicate with the teacher, receive materials, etc. The roles of Secretary and Administrator are separately highlighted. Their capabilities are also determined by activity field: downloading data from the 1C configuration: "Salary and Human Resources Management", recording working hours and payrolling are possible. All user types can communicate through email or WhatsApp.
In addition to the basic configuration a mobile application allowing using almost all its features has been developed. Mobile application can be operated online and offline.
Both parts of presented work were applied in practice showing their efficiency and usability.
