Mobile testing in the system of higher medical education

In recent years, innovative technologies have been increasingly used in the education system. This probably applies to a greater extent to the distance learning system. In some cases, a good distance learning program can almost completely replace the process of full-time education. At the same time, medical education is unique, and characterized by significant conservatism. Indeed, replacing practical training in a clinical specialty with correspondence courses is almost impossible today. However, this does not mean that certain parts of such training cannot be used in the preparation of a medical student with good efficiency. In this regard, there are various possibilities, but the testing function is most in demand. The emergence of distance learning, and in particular the MOODLE system, made it possible to approach the solution of these problems. The second important condition for fulfilling this task was the fact that students widely use mobile computing devices (smartphones, tablets, and laptops) in everyday life, and in particular in their studies.
