The article describes the experience of Donetsk National Medical University concerning implementation of MoodleCloud learning platform in the professional development of academic staff. The emphasis is on the main components of E-learning content «Pedagogy of a higher medical school», which are characterised in the article: simple learning resources, interactive e-lessons, electronic simulations and job aids. The possibilities of cloud hosting for the professional development of teachers of higher medical educational institutions are analyzed on the example of the program «Pedagogy of a higher medical school» developed on the Moodle learning platform. The quality of an e-learning course is enhanced by: learner-centred content, granularity, engaging content, interactivity, personalization. The audit parameters (quality criteria) of the academic staff development program on the Moodle learning platform are presented: information about organization of program; target audience orientation; quality of content; program course design; media Design; technology and evaluation & review).
