Perspectives

In Russia, so called “distance learning” is not a term for a special mode of study at the university. It is the complex of new information and communication technologies (i.e. e-learning, blended learning, flexible learning), which are applied within three main modes of study, namely, conventional on-site study at the university, regular evening courses at the university combined with self-study, and self-study combined with some hours of on-site study. Each mode of study at the Russian university can implement the technologies of distance learning.
