Future Project

Working life should be more actively integrated in higher education as a partner in education design. The e-Learning of the Future project (2009–2012, ERDF) meets work-oriented online education development challenges through working life mentoring that utilizes social media. In the project’s operational model, educational technology experts design and develop teaching in online courses collaboratively with higher education instructors and working life experts. This chapter examines how development of the model was initiated and what problems and challenges emerged. The study will help to establish directions on including working life in online education development through a virtual media laboratory. The model’s use in updating online courses to produce authentic content appears promising. The following critical factors, however, can be found when implementing the model: 1) structuring of the modernization process, 2) supervision of an online interaction process between modernizers/actors, and 3) finding a meaningful role in the process for the working life mentors.

The Development Trend

The development trend of foreign education is affected by many factors, so its future development trend is difficult to judge. Therefore, it is necessary to simulate and analyze the development trend of foreign education through artificial intelligence. According to actual needs, based on artificial intelligence algorithms, this paper builds artificial intelligence simulation analysis model to realize the simulation analysis of foreign education development. Moreover, starting from the overall design architecture of the online education platform, this paper builds functional modules, uses the machine learning constructed in this paper for data training and data prediction, and outputs prediction results. In order to study the performance reliability of the model, we predict and judge the development trend of foreign education and determine the model reliability through empirical judgment. The research results show that the model constructed in this paper has a certain effect.

Online education, including college English education, has been developing rapidly in the recent decade in China. Such aspects as e-readiness, benefits and challenges of online education were well-researched under normal situations, but fully online language teaching on a large-scale in emergencies may tell a different story. A survey of 2310 non-English-major college students and 149 English teachers from three types of twelve higher education institutions in Wuhan was conducted to evaluate their readiness for online English education during the COVID-19 pandemic, to figure out challenges encountered by them and to draw implications for future online college English education. Quantitative statistics gathered using two readiness scales adapted from previous studies showed that both cohorts were slightly below the ready level for the unexpected online transition of college English education. The overall level of readiness for students was 3.68 out of a score of 5, and that for teachers was 3.70. Individual differences were explored and reported. An analysis of qualitative results summarized six categories of challenges encountered by the students, i.e. technical challenges, challenges concerning learning process, learning environment, self-control, efficiency and effectiveness, and health concern. Though the students reported the highest level of readiness in technology access, they were most troubled by technical problems during online study. For teachers, among three types of challenges, they were most frustrated by pedagogical ones, especially students’ disengagement in online class. The survey brought insights for online college English education development. Institutions should take the initiative and continue promoting the development of online college English education, because a majority of the respondents reported their willingness and intention to continue learning/teaching English in online or blended courses in the post-pandemic period. They are supposed to remove technical barriers for teachers and students, and assess the readiness levels of both cohorts before launching English courses online. Institutions should also arrange proper training for instructors involved, especially about pedagogical issues. Language teachers are suggested to pay special attention to students’ engagement and communication in online courses.

This paper describes a test and case study of self-evaluation of online courses during the pandemic time. Due to the Covid-19, the whole world needs to sit on lockdown in different periods. Many things need to be done in all kinds of business including education sector of countries. To sustain the education development, teaching methods had to switch from traditional face-to-face teaching to online courses. The government made decisions quickly, and educational institutions had no time to prepare the materials for online education. All classes of the Mongolian University of Pharmaceutical Sciences switched to online lessons. Challenges were raised before professors and tutors during online teaching. Our university did not have a specific learning management system for online education and e-learning. Therefore, professors used different platforms for their online instructions, such as Zoom and Google meet. Moreover, different social networking platforms played an active role in communication between students and professors. The situation is challenging for professors and students. To measure the quality of online courses and figure out the positive and weak points of online teaching, we need to evaluate e-learning.

In the article, based on the results of a sociological nationwide survey (September-November 2019), status and prospects of online higher education development in the Republic of Belarus are studied. It has been found out that despite respondents are generally positively assess the system of higher education, they are convinced that within its framework it is impossible to prepare good professionals in a number of areas. A positive attitude to the format of online higher education has been revealed, particularly on the basis of reputable Western universities. Categories of individuals potentially interested in online learning services are defined. It is emphasized that this form of learning fits only for highly motivated students. A set of motives is highlighted that encourage students to choose an online learning abroad. Both its advantages and disadvantages are indicated. A sociological study also fixes some risks for Belarus related to the fact that, having received Western diplomas, a significant part of their holders will seek to find a job in European countries. Assessment of employment prospects in Belarus and abroad for holders of “online” diplomas is given. Most Belarusians admit paid tuition for high-quality online education at Western universities and believe that payment should be adequate to the Belarusian standard of living.The set of disciplines which can be popular in online format were defined. It has been established that social modernization of Belarus is to a great extent interested in this group of specialists. It is proved that today Belarusian universities are not able to compete with online offers from Western universities, because they are not ready for this from statutory, financial, organizational, logistical and human resources point of view. The study has practical importance, as empirical analysis results can be used for decision-making process in the country. This kind of study was conducted in Belarus for the first time.
