Abstract

The article examines the role of innovative technologies in the teaching of the discipline «Historical
Regional Studies». The authors analyzed the latest research on this topic and came to the conclusion that
information and computer technologies are an integral part of the modern educational process. Their role has
especially strengthened recently, when today's challenges forced the active use of distance education. Today,
distance learning is not only a global challenge to education, but also a global trend. All this encourages the
educational community to use the latest methods, original approaches and various forms. Among them, the
practice of conducting virtual tours can be defined as very meaningful and effective.

The article formulates the meaning of the concept of «virtual excursion», considers the main
approaches to the classification of virtual excursions, their purpose, peculiarities of conducting. A detailed
analysis of the practice of implementing virtual tours in the Educational and Professional Program "Local
History and Tourism Work", namely during the teaching of the educational component «Historical Regional
Studies» is provided. The list of historical and local knowledge competences, which must be formed by
students of the specialty 032 History and archeology, is given. It is noted that virtual tours cannot replace the
presence of education seekers in real time on the local history route, but allow to get a certain idea about the
selected object of historical and local history research. The article analyzes the positive and negative points
of two ways of planning and creating virtual excursions, as well as describes methodological techniques that
can be used when conducting a virtual excursion on historical and local history topics. The study emphasizes
the advantages of using modern digital tools and technologies in the educational process compared to
traditional ones. The authors identified a number of shortcomings that occur during the preparation and
conduct of a virtual excursion and provided methodical advice for their elimination.
The use of virtual excursions in the teaching of the discipline «Historical Regional Studies» and the
practical application of acquired knowledge about the native land provide ample opportunities for increasing
the interest of historian students in the cultural and historical heritage of the Ukrainian people, activating
creative potential, forming a worldview and national memory.
