Purpose of the study.  The aim of the work is to consider the possibility of improving the quality and accessibility of teaching and educational resources through the development and use of electronic educational resources (hereinafter referred to as EER) using the example of the module “System Design”. The article presents a solution to the problem that is of significant importance in the field of information technology implementation in education. The relevance of the research problem is determined by the fact that through the use of interactive tools in the learning process, users, as a rule, a student and an educator, can actively interact with these information tools. Interactivity implies the existence of conditions for educational dialogue, one of the participants of which is a means of informatization of education.Materials and methods.  To solve these tasks, the general scientific system approach was used as the main one, the basis of which is to consider educational facilities as systems functioning in a certain environment, as well as methods of analysis and comparison. The study was conducted in accordance with the pedagogical conditions of student learning and the methodological requirements for the educational product. We reviewed methodological recommendations on the use of e-learning in the educational process of the university, the main regulatory documents of distance education technologies in the implementation of additional professional programs, the Moodle distance learning system, guidelines for practical exercises, as well as reference materials on the Moodle system.Results.  The study revealed the problem of the use of electronic educational resources, their positive and somewhat negative impact on the goals and results of the educational process, as well as existing technologies for their creation. Based on the analysis of a variety of development technologies for various characteristics, a decision was made to use the LMS Moodle environment. The structure of the module “System Design” was developed, and this module was implemented in the LMS Moodle environment and tested in the educational process, it was revealed that the level of knowledge and skills mastering, as well as their possession is higher among students who studied on the electronic educational resource.Conclusion.  Thus, the results of the study allow us to recommend the introduction of electronic educational resources in the learning process. Since the use of the presented development will not interrupt the learning process in cases where the student can not attend classes, and also contributes to improving the formation of students’ competence level.
