    A key stage of professional training is to prepare them for the use of ICTs and modern innovative solutions that would not only improve the quality of presentation of educational content, but also minimise the time spent on learning new material and repeating material that has already been covered. Therefore, a relevant aspect of preparing teachers and future professionals in general for self-presentation or presentation of their own projects should be preparation for the use of video editors and online platforms to create short videos that both students and teachers can use to save time during teaching or to support projects that are offered to a wide audience. For this reason, in our review, we focus on the theoretical aspects of introducing video content into the educational process; high-quality video editing software that students and teachers can use from any device; analyse the quality of the projects prepared by students; review teaching approaches for asynchronous learning. But, with the main objective of our research being to argue for the principles of creating and designing video content for asynchronous learning. We present not only the above results of our review and practical implementation of the relevant project activities, but also the theoretical aspects of the issue necessary for teachers' understanding and personal improvement. This complex approach allows us to develop the simplest and most flexible algorithm for working with video content, depending on the needs of the teacher, their psychological characteristics and technical skills, as well as the purpose of the subject being taught. After all, for some subjects and the teachers who teach them, the thesis "why should we reinvent the wheel" will be appropriate. While for the other part, this process will always be a personal challenge, an innovation and a requirement of modern education. That is why, in our opinion, the proposed flexible algorithm will be useful for both future teachers and professionals who already have teaching experience.

    This paper presents the issues of distance education, basic research on inclusive education and the current need for teacher training. The sudden «jump» from full-time distance learning has created a «collapse» in terms of inclusion. That is why our study considered: difficulties formation of inclusion and non-compliance and opportunities for all participants in the educational process; narrow orientation subjects and the lack of real practice for working with children with disabilities in the proposed training program for teachers; mismatch legal requirements and opportunities for schools to provide socialization and getting proper education of children with disabilities.During the collection and analysis of information, we used remote research methods, which included survey using Google forms; online meetings and interviews with teachers and teacher assistants; online discussions on the specifics of the proposed content and its adaptation to the needs of the inclusive class and for children with disabilities.According to the results of our research, we found some contradictions between the requirements for the creation of an inclusive educational space, the forms offered for distance learning, and the opportunities of participants in the learning process. It is possible to design and develop specialized courses for teachers working with children with disabilities.

    Contemporary technologies of training specialists in different professions envisage mastering the skills of a 'quality user' of computer technologies. At the same time, the issues of training primary school teachers, specialists in inclusive and remedial education to use more complex multimedia systems with the need to understand programming processes have often been excluded from basic courses as an 'unnecessary' component.But considering the current trends towards distance education, the “rejuvenation” of 'advanced users' and the need to maintain a educator's reputation, the trend towards introducing such systemic courses in the training process for specialists in primary, inclusive and correctional education has become a kind of concept for professional competence. It was based on the needs of today's teachers to transfer knowledge through multimedia systems (creating interactive databases, web pages, blogs or websites, preparing and conducting WebQuests, using computer games from producers or their own development through the platforms Wordwall, Etreniki, Flippity and Scratch programmes, etc.) that became the deciding factor for introducing specific topics on their use into training courses and expanding basic programmes of computer competency. Also, the training process began to include interaction with the training audience through social media. This multi-component work to develop a «modern/advanced» teacher provides the basis not only for improving the quality of the educational process, but also for its individualization according to the needs of each participant and his/her special educational needs, allowing to change the complexity of tasks, the saturation of tasks with audiovisual information.
