The chosen topic becomes especially relevant in terms of military situation in Ukraine, since some of the sights presented in the photos by the authors in the content of the virtual tour retain their original appearance, which may differ from today.

To select practical material, the authors use bibliographic, historical, systematic, concentric, and problem methods. The content structuring of the virtual excursion dedicated to the figure of H. Skovoroda is an example of a creative project for online work with students online made by the students of the specialty 014 Secondary Education (Musical Art), who will be able to implement it in the professionally oriented disciplines.

The authors took into account the algorithms for developing such a form of work with students as: a plan, choosing places for virtual stops, preparing questions and tasks for discussion and completing them independently or in groups. The online format makes it possible to combine various types of artistic activity of students, helps them find and process the artistic thesaurus faster: where, by whom, under what circumstances was the monument created, whether it was preserved intact, restored, or fully restored; what is the historical and artistic value of the monument.
