In recent years, education around the world has received certain challenges in the form of the COVID 19 pandemic, and in Ukraine, the educational process continues for the third year against the background of a full-scale war. To prepare for practical classes, students use the Moodle distance learning server. The purpose of the study was to assess students' satisfaction with the distance learning server and determine the impact on students' success. Materials and methods. We conducted a detailed Сase-study using qualitative and quantitative methods. The survey included questions about user-friendliness of the interface, availability of materials, quality of content, and overall satisfaction with using the system. The selection of research participants was carried out on the basis of a target sample among students of the Sumy State University based on a questionnaire of 2 groups of students of the 2nd year of the Master's degree of the Faculty of Medicine. At the preparatory stage, a questionnaire with a list of questions was developed. At the next stage, a survey of students was conducted. And at the final stage, the results were summed up on a Likert scale and a conclusion was formed. The obtained results indicate the existence of a strong correlation in the statement that the educational content meets the educational needs and is 0.76. A strong correlation coefficient exists for the statement that "using the Moodle system increases my motivation to study pathophysiology" and is 0.68, as well as for the statement "I am satisfied with using Moodle to study pathophysiology" and is 0.85. The average degree of correlation was calculated for the statements about the use of test tasks in preparation for practical classes, as well as the occurrence of some technical problems when working with Moodle, which is revealed in the average correlation for the statement about the quick solution of technical problems. Conclusion. The implementation of the Moodle system for the study of pathological physiology at the Sumy State University turned out to be effective. Improvement of exam results, high level of student satisfaction and increased motivation to study.
