119 Modern distance learning requires speed, ease of communication, high-quality connections, and minimization of travel and organizational costs. Among the variety of platforms for online conferences, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine highlights: ZOOM, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Skype, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx [3]. Virtual interactive whiteboards (online walls) are a useful tool in education. For example, Padlet, MIRO and Classroomscreen allow users to create, organize, and share text, images, files and links in real time. This promotes interaction between participants in the educational process in project work. Interactivity is key to the effectiveness of these platforms. Game elements, instant feedback and visualization of material stimulate student activity, reduce stress levels and make the learning process more interesting. Compared to traditional methods, where students often remain passive listeners, digital platforms ensure engagement in the learning process, increasing responsibility and interest. Gamification plays a special role: competition between students, scoring points and using virtual rewards stimulate the natural desire for achievement. At the same time, digital platforms promote social interaction: group tasks, joint projects and forums foster a sense of teamwork. The use of interactive platforms primarily affects students' motivation. They feel involved in the process, can immediately see the results of their work and assess their own progress. However, it is important to consider the risks. Excessive use of platforms can lead to information overload, formalization of learning activities or even dependence on digital tools. Therefore, their effectiveness directly depends on their competent integration into the teaching process. It should be noted that digitization encompasses all levels and all participants in the educational process. Therefore, in order to motivate future teachers, educators in today's environment must set an example of high digital competence and proficiency in the use of relevant digital tools [4].
