%X In the past ten years, the popularity of electronic learning has increased significantly, with technology-enhanced education becoming a key area of study and research. The information age offers unmatched opportunities for educational advancement, including enhanced communication, access to up-to-date information, and knowledge exchange. The need for e-learning is anticipated to continue growing. The integration of digital technologies and resources opens avenues to improve the effectiveness of both learning and teaching. This article discusses the experience of organizing an e-learning course on “analytical chemistry” at Bogomolets National Medical University for 488 second-year pharmaceutical students (93 full-time and 395 part-time students). The course used Moodle and various other digital tools such as pre-recorded video lectures, Zoom, laboratory work, and social media platforms. The objective of this article is to assess and analyze the use of information technology in education, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. An important outcome of this study is the development of a well-organized online analytical chemistry course on the LIKAR_NMU platform. Student performance evaluation shows that the proposed online learning approach effectively supported the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills in analytical chemistry. The survey results show that live sessions and pre-recorded video lectures were equally effective in several criteria, including focus, clarity, engagement, and overall quality. In addition, social networks such as Viber, WhatsApp, and Telegram are effective tools for addressing supplementary issues related to the analytical chemistry course.
