Pedagogical Design of E-courses as a Means of Motivating Students to Cognitive Activity

At present, especially in the light of ongoing pandemic, the problem of using remote forms of activity has become noticeably actual. This article presents experience of developing guidelines for the pedagogical design of electronic courses based on the Moodle distance learning system. Methodological recommendations on the pedagogical design of electronic courses are aimed at providing the necessary meaningful information, forming a certain sequence of presentation and introduction of modern digital ways to convey educational content. The main task of the research is to develop methods of distance learning by introducing modern information technologies. John Keller's motivation model formed the basis for the concept of distance learning methodology. The purpose of the study is to develop rational and effective guidelines for the pedagogical design of distance courses based on the Moodle educational environment. The eigenvalues and accumulated variances of the experimental data formed the basis for the factor analysis procedure.
