Distant and computer-assistant education in rgotups

Abstract

Specifics of education in our university: most of the students are taking correspondence and moonlighting courses, a vast educational area – more than 30 towns of European Russia, - made e-learning technologies extremely important for us. For more than 10 years we are developing computer-assistant and distant education. For students of the first 3 courses there are developed a methodology of obligatory e-learning on physics, chemistry, monitoring and ecology: electron text-books, multimedia courses, computing simulation laboratory, test and self-test systems. For the last 3 years the methodology becomes more complicated: professional training needs introduction of specialized programs, distant defending of course and diploma works, Internet and e-mail consulting, distant e-lecturing.
