Distance learning technologies are a much more independent and individualized form of learning. Distance learning is possible anywhere, anytime and accessible to anyone, and today it has become an important component of virtual socialization for an individual.
To succeed in the modern knowledge-based economic system, everyone needs constantly to improve their skills and qualifications.
Distance learning (DL) is traditionally defined as an educational process where a significant part of teaching is carried out by a teacher (or a group of teachers) distant in space and/or time from the student (or group of students).
Thus, in comparison with traditional education, distance learning makes it possible to:
– to expand the audience of students, with minimal expenses (there is no need for printed materials and classrooms, paying transport costs);
– constant contact between the teacher and students;
– involvement of foreign teachers and experts;
– permanent access to regularly updated educational materials;
– regular testing in asynchronous and, most importantly, in synchronous modes;
– implementation of collective forms of education;
– conducting discussions;
– development and implementation of joint projects.
The teachers of the department have developed more than 30 distance courses on the Moodle platform. Teachers also actively use the resources of the Englab platform (Pearson). Classes take place in Zoom, Gmeets, Microsoft Teams video communication tools.
