Abstract

Urgency of the research. The skills and abilities that students must master, defined in the work program of the discipline "Fundamentals of Information Technology", are revealed. Distance learning is one of the leading forms of education in a modern institution of higher education. Therefore, the relevance of using cloud services and cloud-based systems is not in doubt.Target setting. Distance learning in higher education institutions, today, is preferred for most institutions in the country. And while the transition to this form of education is not a problem for senior students, undergraduate students face major challenges related to the organization of the workspace. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The advantages of cloud means over traditional and electronic means have been scientifically proved by S. O. Semerikov, I. O. Teplytskyi, Yu. V. Yechkalo , O. M Markova, V. M. Soloviev and A. Yu. Kiv. Possibilities of application of cloud technologies in the educational process of researches by Е. A. Aldakheel, C. N. Bull, A. M. Stryuk, O. V. Merzlykin, S. O. Semerikov and M. V. Popel. The research objective. Experimentally test the effectiveness of using Octave Online as a cloud-based workshop. The statement of basic materials. The essence of the concept of "cloud-oriented workshop" is revealed. Demonstration examples of individual tasks from the course "Fundamentals of Information Technology" are given. It is shown that the content of tasks is aimed at the formation of skills and practical skills in programming to solve practical problems and exercises for laboratory work on the basics of information technology. Fragments of tasks performed by first-year students are given. The advantages of GNU Octave as an aid in numerical calculations have been established. The results of an experimental test of the effectiveness of using Octave Online as a cloud-based workshop were evaluated on a three-level scale. Each level is determined by a list of relevant indicators. Conclusions. The analysis of the experiment showed that the students' academic achievements after performing laboratory work in a cloud-oriented workshop increased compared to their personal academic achievements before the use of Octave Online. The conclusions of the experimental test of the effectiveness of the use of Octave Online as a cloud-oriented workshop, on the convenience and usefulness of the use of this cloud tool in the training of future IT professionals.
