Oksana Savchenko, the Head of the Subdivision of Philological Studies, took part in the Forum “Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education”, which took place on the platform of the British Council Ukraine. The event was attended by experts in the field of higher education in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, representatives of higher education institutions, who shared their experience in improving teaching in modern realities. One of the practical workshops “Gamification in the educational process during a pandemic” was held, where participants learned more about the effectiveness of games and considered the differences between gamification and game-based learning. The tools used to gamify the educational process during distance learning were presented. Panel discussion “Lecturer and student - how to build interaction?” gave the opportunity to combine the creative tandem of students and lecturers. During the workshop “In the role of a lecturer: the creation of test tasks by students as a tool for active learning” participants were asked to discuss the criteria for evaluating tests developed by students. Participants got acquainted with some platforms for testing: Kahoot, Quizizz, Mentimeter. The main advantages of the approach were presented (student-centered approach, partnership between teacher and student, implementation of the principle of active learning).

The experience gained during the forum will be used by the lecturer in professional activities and applied in the educational process.
