Abstract

The article is focused on the pressing issue of using interactive applications as effective teaching tools in Ukrainian higher education institutions. It highlights that using interactive applications, specifically interactive digital platforms, in the modern educational process ensures the best possible combination of theoretical information and its practical application. The authors analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of using interactive applications and their integration into interactive learning and concluded that a characteristic feature of modern higher education in Ukraine is the use of interactive digital platforms, such as Baamboozle, Wordwall, LearningApps.org, and Genially. It was determined that the use of various digital applications helps teachers develop interesting lessons that are usually aimed at solving several tasks: gamification of learning, consolidation of the material studied, and assessment of learning outcomes. The universal educational tool Genially was analyzed, whose interactive capabilities help make learning in Ukrainian higher education institutions more productive, motivating, and modern. The use of interactive applications provides teachers in higher education institutions with tools for analytics and assessment, as well as the ability to adapt content to different formats (course, practical class, seminar, independent study). The main advantages of using digital applications have been identified, namely time savings, accessibility and flexibility, interactivity and personalization, and objectivity. At the same time, the authors emphasize that the use of interactive applications in the educational process in higher education institutions in Ukraine should be organically combined with traditional teaching. With this in mind, teachers should carefully consider the order, in which traditional methods and interactive applications are used, without overusing the latter, as this can lead to a decrease in motivation
