Distance Learning Technologies

According to the Law of the Russian Federation "On Education," training can be carried out in three forms:

1. full-time,
2. evening uniform,
3. absentee form.

Correspondence form of study

The correspondence form of education worked quite effectively in our country using paper textbooks and manuals and full-time passing of tests and exams. Correspondence education "'

1. Postgraduate education
2. Advanced training
3. Corporate Training

Online education typology

Online education is a relatively young industry, the explosive growth of which began in 2011-2012. There are already dozens of different ways to typologize online education. The main type of online education is the so-called MOOCS - mass open online courses with interactive participation, designed for an unlimited number of students. The following criteria for typologizing players in the field of online education can also be distinguished:

• By cost: free, paid and freemium. As part of the latest model, the learning process itself is free, and passing the exam or receiving a certificate of the completed course is a paid service.
• By time: fixed time and open schedule. In the first model, the course is available only in a certain time period (hour, day, week, month), in the second case the course is always available.
• By course authorship: user courses and professional. User courses post information from users (usually in the form of videos). The professional model assumes that the company takes over the entire process of creating the course, including video shooting.
• By the number of listeners: without restriction and with restriction (usually no more than 50 listeners).
• By training process: unaccompanied courses and accompanied courses. As part of the first model, only one-way information transfer is offered, the second model implies communication between the teacher and students, including testing the knowledge gained.

Distance education

Distance education - education that is fully or partially carried out using computers and telecommunications technologies and means. The subject of distance education is removed from the teacher, and/or educational means, and/or educational resources.

Distance education is carried out with the predominance of distance education technologies, forms, methods and means of training in the educational process, as well as using information and educational arrays of the Internet.

A popular technology is the sending of educational content to students (electronic and paper textbooks, lecture video courses, video seminars, etc.) through the system "university teleport - satellite - student satellite antenna - TV." This technology is interactive: in real time, students undergo knowledge testing, consult with teachers, etc.

Distance learning in computer science

The preparation of students, teachers and teachers for the Unified State Exam in computer science can be carried out remotely using the Internet and basic textbooks on computer science and ICT.

Distance learning, like any other correspondence training, is carried out using textbooks and teaching aids, as well as passing tests and exams and course projects and works.

Remotely preparation for the Unified State Exam can be carried out not only in computer science and ICT, but also in other school general education subjects. For example - social studies.

Preparation for the exam of students, teachers and teachers of computer science begins with their confirmation of knowledge of computer science textbooks and USE standards.

Completion of preparation for the Unified State Exam - the implementation of coursework projects and works on computer science and ICT on the Internet.

Distance Learning Technologies

Remote learning technologies are information technologies that ensure the delivery of the main volume of the studied material to students, interactive interaction between students and teachers in the course of training, providing students with the opportunity to independently work on the development of the studied material, as well as in the course of training.

Types of distance education

The number of opportunities for distance education in Russia is growing rapidly. Many educational institutions are actively developing distance courses of all kinds: from school external to higher education and MBA.

Today, through distance education, you can:

• graduate;
• undergo master's studies;
• complete postgraduate studies;
• to receive a second higher education;
• learn a foreign language remotely;
• take an MBA training course;
• participate in Internet trainings;
• improve qualifications in professional courses;
• to receive school and secondary education.

Advantages and disadvantages of distance education

• Distance education is indispensable for remote cities, where there is often no other opportunity to get the desired education.
• For training, you do not need to leave your home, family, friends, work, as well as bear the cost of travel and accommodation.
• Distance education is conducted according to individual curricula, thanks to which the student can ask questions about those aspects of the course, disciplines that are interesting to him.
• The student develops the skills to independently find the necessary information, as well as the habit of working and making decisions on his own.
• Distance learning helps to circumvent psychological barriers associated with a person's communication qualities, such as shyness and fear of public speaking.
• Distance learning is mobile, which means that the student has access to relevant materials, becomes a professional who can apply the knowledge gained in practice.

Who is suitable for distance education?

• Someone who is busy at work or at home and does not have the opportunity to attend classes and listen to hour-long lectures;
• Someone who seeks to improve their qualifications, discover talents and gain new knowledge on the job of moving up the career ladder;
• Someone who likes to choose (each student always has a choice: communicate with teachers in person, by phone or via the Internet).
• Someone who likes to get everything from life and never misses the opportunity to expand professional ties and horizons, because thanks to distance education, you can study in several courses at the same time.

How effective and in demand is distance education?

The answer to the question of how much specialists who have received distance education are quoted on the Russian labor market is obvious. Everyone knows that employers appreciate experienced specialists - practitioners who do not interrupt their work experience for study, but are formed in their free time from work.

Distance learning allows you to get higher education in parallel with work, expands the possibilities of Russians in training abroad, obtaining academic degrees recognized by the international educational community. Well, which specialist is most in demand in the modern labor market: a practitioner educated in the form of distance learning at a prestigious educational institution, or a theorist who graduated from the full-time department of an unknown local university, everyone decides for himself.

How much does distance education cost?

It is worth noting that distance education programs are much cheaper than similar educational courses conducted according to the traditional system. Educational institutions save on rent, electricity and expensive equipment, because training does not require separate premises and computers. In addition, most of the time, students are engaged independently, which means that teachers can simultaneously teach a large number of students, thanks to which the price of distance education remains affordable.

Where to get distance education?

2 participants occupy a leading position in terms of the ratio of the cost of training, the number of specialties and the terms of training at once:

• 1) MNEPU Academy, which actively develops distance learning and implements innovative training programs based on distance technologies with the support of the capital's authorities and
• 2) Moscow Institute of Economics and Law, CDR - a project of the Moscow Institute of Economics, Management and Law (MIEMP). Further, according to the Rating *, the IESO, the Institute of Communication Technologies, the Institute of Professional Innovation, the IFPA, the Institute of Cultural Psychology, the Institute of Cultural Psychology, the Institute of Distance Education of the IFUA, the IPEB (Institute of Legal and Economic Security), the Humanitarian and Environmental Institute are located.

Modern Internet technologies

Modern Internet technologies of distance learning are built on the basis of the following means:

1. web server
2. web pages and sites;
3. email;
4. forums and blogs;
5. chat and ICQ;
6. television and video conferencing;
7. virtual classrooms;
8. wiki encyclopedias;

Video conferencing technologies

From a mobile phone to the Iternet network, the world is built on state-of-the-art technology. Thanks to broadband and digital communication networks, today video conferencing makes it possible to use the atmosphere of real presence in the room, which allows teachers to bring new knowledge, give introductory lectures, and conduct consultations in real time.

The use of video conferencing technology provides the key to effective distance education. Through video conferencing, the teacher can introduce students and new computer technologies, paying attention to the reactions of programs and students.

Conducting online classes with students on the Internet - lectures, seminars, colloquia and passing tests and exams for a group or for each student personally, uploading educational materials, questionnaires and exams to the network.

Maximizes the sense of teacher and student presence in the same audience using high definition (HD) technology. Control all devices in the audience from the projector to the climate system by pressing your finger on the interactive screen.

Distance Learning Experience

The correspondence form of education worked quite effectively in our country using paper textbooks and manuals and full-time passing of tests and exams.

Taking exams is quite possible with the help of videoconferencing, and accepting credits through knowledge testing over the Internet.

Russian experience of distance learning using paper textbooks at SSU shows that correspondence can provide training for tens of thousands of people.

Training is carried out independently on paper textbooks, and knowledge control in full-time sessions or via the Internet by surveys on sections of textbooks is VERY EFFECTIVE.

Almost all 100% of students and schoolchildren, when using paper textbooks and testing knowledge over the Internet, received exclusively "GOOD" and "EXCELLENT" grades.

Examples of online exchange rate projects

Coursework Internet projects are interactive information sites with the performance of coursework and tasks for solving problems in computer science, working with office packages and creating personal or school sites.

Coursework and coursework projects of teachers of informatics and students of ITO MPGU:

1. Course project of a student-teacher of informatics M. Yagid
2. Course project of a student-teacher of informatics M. Shchetinina
3. Course project of a student-teacher of informatics A. Holina
4. Course projects of students of ITO FTP MPGU

The Disadvantages of Programmed Learning

Programmed learning is an attempt at learning using selective responses that contain a series of incorrect responses

The presence of wrong answers - false, unreliable information puts people in a dead end and does not help people in teaching either from a psychological or pedagogical point of view.

For 60 years of application of programmed training, nowhere and no one managed to get significant results with the help of selective questions with series of false answers.

The biggest failure is the USE results in schools of the Russian Federation for organizing unified exams, where more than 90% of school graduates receive deuces or are not certified at the exit from schools.

Also unsuccessful were all attempts to use programmed training in all remote and automated training projects in all countries of the world.
