Genesis and modern content of the concept «blended learning» in the foreign pedagogical theory are grounded in the article based on modern approaches. The components (traditional full-time education, distance learning (independent and collaborative) and e-learning (synchronous and asynchronous) education) are distinguished. The levels (activity, course, educational programme, university) of practical realization of the blended learning in educational practice are defined. It was determined, that the concept evolved from understanding blended learning as combination of traditional education elements, distance and e-learning with facilities of information and communication technologies to its awareness as synergetic concept of enriching educational experience of educational process subjects. It is realized by means of integration of different strategies and levels of direct and computer-mediated pedagogical cooperation. Conceptual principles of blended learning are distinguished based on generalization and systematization of foreign researchers’ scientific works. First, it can be realized only within the frames of the formal educational programme. Second, it is done under teacher’s control in conditions when one part of educational cooperation takes place in the training room in the process of direct communication (face-to-face); the other part is realized in the mediated virtual environment. It can be individual or group work in the training room, or independent distant work with educational materials, for example, at home; in its turn, it creates possibility for the students of determining time, place, way and/or their pace of learning. Third, such educational cooperation results in forming student’s individual cognitive experience where components of traditional and interactive online-education supplement each other, and are characterized by differentiated, integrative, open, accessible, flexible and adaptive models of physical and virtual interaction.

We substantiate the need to use modern educational technology of blended learning “flipped class” in university education, introduce new principles of building the educational process in higher education, search for new organizational forms of education, interactive methods and technologies of teaching a foreign language. The solution to the research problem is based on theoretical, methodological and practical issues that are considered in the study. We focus on the fact that teaching a foreign language is based on the methodic potential of competence-based and personality-oriented approaches. We note the role of a foreign language teacher, who is a facilitator and consultant, who ensures successful communication of students in the process of performing interdisciplinary or metadisciplinary research projects that contribute to the development of metadisciplinary and communication skills. The obtained results of the pedagogical experiment suggest that the use of the “flipped classroom” blended learning technology increase the level of internal motivation of students to learn a foreign language. This technology allows to individualize and activate the educational process.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the key challenges faced by Russian higher education during the pandemic and the prospects for its further development. The article highlights the key problems of higher education that have arisen in connection with the pandemic situation (reduced academic mobility, weakened partnerships, inability to complete research on time, reduced number of applicants, suspension of educational activities), examines the actions of governments and measures taken by universities to adapt to work in the context of the pandemic (development of appropriate legislation, provision of consulting and financial assistance, measures to support foreign students who found themselves in the country during the pandemic, etc.). Hypotheses are put forward regarding the ways of transformation of university education in the "post-covid" period, possible trends are proposed, including digitalization, changes in the content of the educational process, scientific activity, increasing the social role and the "third mission" of universities. The problems of online education, the development of digital technologies and new forms of education by teachers and students, and the creation of a new system of social and educational work corresponding to new educational formats are considered. Conclusions are drawn that the Russian higher education system as a whole has managed to overcome the difficulties that have arisen. The situation of the pandemic, on the one hand, has accelerated a number of transformational processes that began in the higher education system before it, and on the other – has revealed new challenges, the solution of which is necessary for the effective functioning of universities in force majeure situations. We should not expect a complete return of universities to the "pre-covid" situation, since certain mechanisms have been launched to accelerate the modernization of domestic higher education.

This case study critically reflects upon the development of a scholarship of technology enhanced learning (SOTEL) research cluster in clinical sciences higher education. The research cluster has grown from an initial community of practice established in 2015 in the context of Paramedicine education (Cochrane, Cook, Aiello, Harrison, & Aguayo, 2016), to a collaborative transdisciplinary research cluster that now encompasses: the School of Clinical Sciences, Journalism, the Centre for Teaching And Learning, the AppLAB, and international research partners (Cochrane, 2019; Cochrane et al., 2018). The MESH360 research cluster (initially standing for the Multiple Environment Simulation VR Hub, but now covering the growing body of immersive reality enhanced learning projects) focuses upon the common domain of the exploration of immersive reality to enhance higher education to develop student creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities.   The research cluster is built upon the shared ontology, epistemology, and research methodology of the wider SOTEL research cluster hub (https://sotel.nz/about-the-cluster/). We established an ecology of resources to support the research cluster (Cochrane & Narayan, 2018), and encourage open educational practice via social media, publishing in open access channels, and regular project showcases. Outcomes from the MESH360 research cluster include: innovative curriculum design, journal articles, conference proceedings, 2 Vice Chancellors teaching innovation awards, a Prime Minister’s research scholarship, and award of a variety of internal project funding. The activity of the research cluster is curated in a ResearchGate Project at https://www.researchgate.net/project/MESH360 and on social media via the #MESH360 hashtag. While the activity of the MESH360 has been predominantly within the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, we are seeing wider impact into Schools within the other Faculties at the university, and potential national and international collaborations.   The SOTEL model includes the following main elements: An online hub - The SOTEL Research Cluster https://sotel.nz/ An annual Symposium showcasing SOTEL in practice https://sotel.nz The Pacific Journal of Educational Technology (PJTEL) The CMALT cMOOC and the MOSOMELT cMOOC A weekly webinar series Brokering international TEL networks such as the ASCILITE Mobile Learning Special Interest Group A series of TEL workshops and showcases   The presentation will outline the above elements of the SOTEL Research Cluster. We believe the MESH360 research cluster model can be applied to a wide variety of higher education domains. References   Cochrane, T. (2019).

The sources of the origin of dual university education in the European Union have been observed in the context of the reform processes that have been taking place continuously throughout the years of state independence in the system of personnel training in Ukraine. Germany was chosen as an example because, firstly, it is its ancestor, and secondly, it has brought dual education to exemplary perfection. Germany was chosen as an example because, firstly, it is its ancestor, and secondly, it has brought dual education to exemplary perfection. An evidence positing the methods developed by German experts are favorably received by countries located on all continents of the planet has been gained. It was found that the impetus for its spread beyond vocational education was unexpected changes in the mood of young people, who, seeking to ensure economic stability in the future, are not limited to acquiring a minimum bachelor's and, eventually, master's degree. Moreover, before our eyes is an attractive example of ones who is of the same age, preferring classical academic education. This impulse coincided with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And it, in turn, has formed a demand for intellectual capital capable of serving the latest information and communication technologies. A confirmation of the proposed working hypothesis about the importance of creating an institutional economic and legal basis for fruitful cooperation of recipients of educational services, employers and universities has been obtained. Each of this triad needs a separate thorough motivation. Models of dual education on the distribution of study and working time and the types of training courses that have acquired the greatest practical application are presented. It is emphasized that dual education is not an innovation for domestic higher education. At least in such forms as night-school classes, nonresident training and online education, as they are used in the past and in the present by higher education institutions. However, each of them should be filled with new content, given the positive world experience. As for full-time dual education, it is associated with deep reengineering of the educational process, which, in fact, is the content of future scientific research of the authors.

Methodological approaches of studying the distance learning process of students in higher education institutions are evolving alongside changes that occur in the educational system and in the global space. Therefore, the systematisation of theoretical, methodological and practical factors on which the modern methodology of distance learning is based makes it possible to form new opportunities for the education system in the direction of its modernisation. One of the components is communicative competence, that is, the ability to perceive and (re)produce the information in a foreign language in accordance with the conditions of speech communication. The purpose of the study is to characterise modern interactive methods of distance learning for the organisation and management of students’ educational activities. To achieve this goal, theoretical research methods were used: analysis, systematisation, substantiation of the conceptual apparatus of the study; the formulation of its conceptual provisions and conclusions; analysis of pedagogical documentation, content analysis of curricula and methodological support of the educational process to determine the possibilities of using educational IT-technologies in distance learning. The peculiarities of the innovative technologies usage while studying foreign languages and the theoretical and methodological foundations of Physical Culture and Sports are characterised. Distance learning of different disciplines should be included in the curricula. Several innovative forms of language “warm-up” are proposed. Modern educational WEB-technologies are studied, which allows us to expand the methodological components of distance learning in higher education institutions. The most effective distance learning means in higher education institutions has been established. The application of the Case method, the interactive «science brain storm» technology, the online versions of AWWAPP and RealtimeBoard, the use of the PRES formula and the Flipped classroom methodology has been analysed. For blended learning, it is proposed to use a traditional textbook in combination with interactive online tasks – Blended Learning – using the online tool MyEnglishLab. An important aspect is that during practical classes, the Zoom software is used for fine differentiation and accurate identification of textual material. The applied innovative teaching methods, combining new and effective methods of the educational process (knowledge generation, transfer and accumulation), will contribute to the intensification and modernization of education, as a result of which the synthesis of students’ certain competencies is achieved.

This paper focuses on the investigation of the character of the two pillars of modern university education   in   Greece:   the   conventional   and   distance   education. The investigation is based on a literature review of the historical and ideological evolution and  seeks  to  provide  a  comparative  consideration,  exploring  the  possibilities  of harmonization  and  complementarily,  with  a  view  to  upgrade  the  quality  of  tertiary education  in  Greece  in  the  21th  century.  The  paper  presents  the  problems  of  higher education in Greece and the answers proposed by the new form of distance education, online education, which catalyzes the spatio temporal constraints and provides a more flexible  and  creative  educational  policy  ambition.  Distance  education  can  override conservatism  and  structural  rigidity  of  modern  universities  and  may  contribute  in improving  the  effectiveness  of  tertiary  education  in  Greece,  especially  in  a  period  characterized by financial and social distress and fast depreciation of knowledge. The paper  also  points  out  the  obstacles  associated  with  the  use  of  e-learning  and  its integration in educational practice, and proposes creative ways of integrating the two forms of education in tertiary institutions.

The technology of blended learning is one of the modern trends in education both in the world and in Russia. The article explores the various possibilities of blended learning technology. As a means of implementing online learning, it is proposed to use LMS Moodle, which is widely used among educational organizations. The categorization of the main elements of Moodle from the perspective of the organization of pedagogical control, forms of presentation of teaching materials is presented. Examples of the use of basic resources and elements of Moodle in the educational process are given. The interactive properties of individual elements those allow you to more effectively implement online learning in blended learning technology are revealed. An approach is proposed to understand the essence of blended learning technology as a technology that allows to activate a student’s activities in the framework of full-time education by using online training and transferring (from full-time education) those activities that students are able to implement in the absence of a teacher.

The imminent completion of many Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP) projects means that a considerable number of courseware deliverables will soon be available to Higher-Education (HE) institutions. The Higher Education Funding Council's intention in funding the Programme (HEFCE Circulars, 8/92, 13/93) was to ensure their integration into academic curricula by providing institutions with an opportunity to review their 'teaching and learning culture' with regard to the embedding of learning technology within their institutional practice. Two recent workshops, conducted with a representative sample of newly appointed academic staff in connection with the evaluation of materials to be included in a staff development pack whose purpose is to encourage the use of IT in teaching and learning (TLTP Project 7), strongly suggested that the availability of courseware alone was insufficient to ensure its integration into educational practice. The establishment of enabling mechanisms at the institutional level, as well as within departments, was crucial to ensure the effective use of learning technology.DOI:10.1080/0968776950030115
