Unpredictable abrupt changes in the external environment of the education ecosystem have necessitated the introduction of distance and mixed learning formats into practice and the transformation of forms of interaction between students and teachers. The high quality of students’ training in higher education institutions has recently been ensured thanks to the implementation of online courses and the organization of mixed forms of education based on them, which involve remote work to familiarize students with theoretical material by performing skill-oriented tasks remotely, face-toface seminars and final control of the development of academic disciplines. The subject of the article is a methodological approach to the organization of learning processes taking into account the challenges of the external environment and internal restructuring based on the integration of modern pedagogical teaching methods and technological solutions in order to form a new generation of human capital. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the construction of an integrated design — problem approach in conditions of mixed learning using LMS Canvas as a tool to improve the quality of training of a new generation of human capital. The conceptual foundations of designing the implementation of students’ research work in a mixed learning format as an element of professional training of human capital are considered. The conclusions are made that the active inclusion of students in the modern process of the knowledge economy brings them to a high level of responsibility and strict compliance with deadlines for individual stages of work.
