Quarantine caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus made traditional education impossible, forcing teachers to seek optimal forms of distance learning.

Guided by the Regulations on distance learning [1], the educational process at the department for its effective organization and control was schematically divided into 3 components - organizational, synchronous and asynchronous. The first one was realized using the department's page on the academy website and the Viber messenger. Zoom video conferencing between a teacher and the students ensured the synchronous component. To provide optimal use of time and more accurate assessment of students' knowledge, skills and abilities, Google-mail and Google-forms (asynchronous component) were used. According to a survey among students on the accessibility and satisfaction with the distance learning quality, the following conclusions were made. First, all respondents gave a positive feedback on the value of the course, and agreed that the course was well planned and organized, and the learning objectives were clearly defined. Second, when assessing students` knowledge before and after the course, there is a positive trend towards a significant improvement at the end of the discipline learning compared to the basic level.

The educational process organized by the department in accordance with the Regulations on distance learning contributed to the realization of educational goals and was positively assessed by students.
