The development of education directly refers to the improvement of digital technologies that contribute to new opportunities in the learning process. Based on this, the primary purpose is to examine the features of divergent thinking formation influenced by distance learning. This was accomplished using polling methods. They defined the learning format that had previously been used to teach students. The results suggested that 52% of students took a traditional learning approach since non-standard approaches to the material presentation were not previously included in the educational process. Only 12% of students studied using enhanced teaching methods due to techniques and modern technologies. The author created distance learning approaches to study Chinese culture. After four months of training, it was found that 29% of students preferred an unconventional approach because they were able to form creative thinking using interactive technologies. Combining theoretical and practical material allowed for the development of elaboration skills in 27% of students, since it was possible to apply theoretical material to develop practical skills. The learning results revealed that 91% of students earned high marks in the study of Chinese culture, with an average score of 0.83. This was due to the possibility of using creative thinking to solve the tasks. The article holds significant scientific value for researchers actively involved in the development of methodologies concerning the distance learning format.

This study aims to identify the problems that landscape design students face when using Zoom as an educational platform for distance learning purposes and determine their level of satisfaction with distance learning. The main research method was a Likert-scale survey used to assess students’ satisfaction with distance learning. The sample included 90 full-time students enrolled in the garden and landscape construction program. According to the students, the main difficulties in distance learning were systemic errors during the use of the platform. The results can help develop a set of measures to solve and alleviate the identified problems in the future. The findings will enhance the optimization of distance education in general. Future research can focus on the advantages and disadvantages of online educational platforms and explore how user-friendly they are for both students and faculty. Studies can also describe faculty barriers to quality online education and provide suggestions to create a comfortable learning experience for landscape students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
