Abstract
The article actualizes the need to use multifunctional flexible online platforms to promote educational activities, in particular the discipline “Machine Learning”. The main characteristic features of the discipline “Machine Learning” are described, the teaching of which consists in a task-based approach through writing program codes in a programming language, which is the Python 3 interpreter with a bundle of libraries selected: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborn for data processing and visualization. The Scikit-learn library is used directly for machine learning. In addition to the Python 3 interpreter, coding tools are involved, namely: the PyCharm Community cross-platform development environment and the Jupyter Notebook open source web application. The potential of educational multifunctional flexible online platforms including designers of open online courses to facilitate independent learning of students is evaluated. According to the versions of various domestic and foreign scientific publications, the most mentioned online platforms are identified, their functionality regarding the placement of material in the fields of programming and machine learning was analyzed. Based on the analysis of the functional, a group of potential basic requirements for educational platforms in teaching programming within the discipline “Machine Learning” was identified, analyzed and discussed.
