Abstract

.  The article outlines the use of modern tools for teamwork in distance learning. The basic provisions of the researched problem in the views of native and foreign scientists based on the analysis of psychological-pedagogical and methodical literature in the issue of collective work in the educational process with means of online tools are considered. The essence of the concepts such as «teamwork» and «distance learning» is clarified. However, regardless of the form of education, to increase the effectiveness of educational activities of students collective interaction is important because it increases the interest and determines the success of subjects. Online classes are the  new reality. Emphasis is placed on the feasibility of using the online board as a tool of distance learning and modernization of the educational process. The possibilities of such tools are analyzed and the virtual board Bitpaper is extracted. The algorithm of creation of a board is resulted and working conditions in various tariff plans are defined. In this article we are familiarized with the tools of the online environment and  the functional purpose of individual tools and the ability to adjust the design of the «canvas» or «sheet» of the board are analyzed.

The advantages of Bitpaper are defined and they are evident. Cyrillic is supported. There is a wide choice of figures and forms for creation of drawings. Students can work on different types of gadgets. They write and print text messages, work with formulas or save the created boards as images or pdf-documents. The online teacher should use the board to explain new material and to visualize some information in the educational process. This board can be used to create and perform interactive tasks, for work with textual information or making a collective drawing, reflection, art minutes, etc. Some examples of didactic exercises for collective work of schoolchildren in the conditions of distance learning are given here as well. The results of the research are generalized and the efficiency of its use in the educational process is estimated. The prospects of research of using virtual boards of different types for studying subjects in the conditions of digital education are defined.
