Urgency of the research. Modern technologies possess a number of visualization and virtualization tools applied to real-life objects. Augmented reality is a major technology in this field making distance training similar to the traditional one through providing opportunities to conduct laboratory and practical works anywhere and anytime. The urgency of transition to distance training is indicated in normative acts, according to which the quarantine measures provide the prohibition to attend the universities by students.

Target setting. In case of distance learning, theoretical materials are presented through well-known software tools on high quality level. Yet, the problem arises while conducting laboratory and practical classes requiring specific laboratory equipment. For this reason, our research is aimed at replacing real laboratory equipment by the virtual one through applying augmented reality tools.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The normative act of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (the Letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine № 1/9-154 as of March 11, 2020, the Laws of Ukraine On Education and On Higher Education) reflect the necessity of providing distance learning in quarantine conditions. The works by Yu. O. Zhuk and V. M. Kukharenko deal with specific features of arranging distance learning. Both foreign (M. B. Ali, W. Benesova, P. Fabiani, N. D. Halim, J. Martín-Gutiérrez, M. D. Meneses, C. E. Mora, C. Onime, D. N. Phon, J. Uhomoibhi, M. Zennaro) and Ukrainian researches (T. V. Hruntova, O. M. Markova, Ye. O. Modlo, S. O. Semerikov, V. V. Tkachuk, Yu. V. Yechkalo) investigate into application of augmented reality technology in education.

The research objective. The research aims to theoretically substantiate and develop methods of applying augmented reality technology as a distance learning tool under quarantine conditions.

The statement of basic materials. The research paper describes methods of performing the laboratory work on studying the electro-measuring  devices in the remote mode by using the mobile application Electricity AR.

Conclusions. The research theoretically substantiates the efficiency of applying augmented reality as a distance learning tool under quarantine conditions. The visualization tool for laboratory equipment (the mobile application Electricity AR) is singled out. There are developed elements of methods of applying the mobile application Electricity AR to performing laboratory works.

Keywords: augmented reality, distance learning, quarantine, mobile application Electricity AR.
