The article is devoted to reforming of the higher education system, which is associated with technological and technical changes, namely, distance learning. The authors emphasize that the distance learning at the university makes education more open and mobile, but interindividual computer-mediated communication not only contributes to the design of a high-quality information educational space of higher school, forming the information culture of the actors of the educational process, but also causes a huge number of risks: informational, organizational, technical, psychological, health risks. As a result of the analysis, the authors concluded that certain elements of distance technologies can strengthen the education system, but a complete distance will exclude the social component from educational practices, which will entail a deformation of society.

The Self-Access Language Centre of the University of Naples “L’Orientale” (CILA) promotes the development of autonomy in language learning, offering a wide range of technology-based resources and a language counselling service. In the last few years, to satisfy the growing need for independent language learning in our university, we have integrated autonomous learning in the SAC with online pathways and multimedia materials. We started by offering online Self-Access activities in blended courses, integrating face-to-face classroom teaching with online modules. This experiment enabled us to develop a kind of blended autonomous learning, combining a real-life SAC with online Self-Access Centres. Virtual SACs suggest a variety of language learning activities and allow learners to study a language while reflecting on their learning process. In the online SAC, language counsellors implement the language learner’s autonomy promoted in presence in the SAC, interacting with them through computer-mediated communication. In this paper we shall look at how the promotion of autonomy in language learning can be enhanced through the integration of technology-based materials and activities made available in self-access modality. Our aim is to present online resources designed to help students learn a foreign language autonomously.

ABSTRACT This paper presents data from a computer-mediated communication study conducted between a group of Brazilian university students - from Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Estado de Goiás, Campus Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil - who wanted to learn English, and a group of German university students - from the University of Worms, in Germany - who wanted to learn Portuguese. The cross-cultural bilingual communication was conducted in the second semester of 2010 and involved discussions on environmental issues. Adopting a qualitative perspective in the analysis, the data were derived from conversation sessions through a webconferencing software known as Openmeetings and through e-mails and some written activities developed by the students. All these were analyzed by means of sociocultural theory. Among the conclusions we reached, we observed that the participants used the software features to help them in their language learning process, discussed issues related to environmental science, as well as topics related to their personal and academic life. Regarding the languages used, the participants used English during the teletandem sessions as an anchoring language to assist their partners in learning English itself and Portuguese, as well as introduced the German language in the interaction sessions.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что в современных условиях конкурентной среды работодатели становятся центром потребления выпускников высших учебных заведений. Однако на протяжении последних десятилетий система высшего образования не соответствует запросам своей целевой аудитории – социума и рынка труда. Рынок труда на сегодняшний день невозможно прогнозировать, наше общество все еще находится на этапе реформирования и часто социально-экономическая сфера страдает от несистемных трансформаций. Из-за увеличения информационного потока, глобализации и цифровизации происходят качественные изменения на рынке труда, перевес специалистов одних направлений подготовки при колоссальном дефиците других. Выпускники остаются невостребованными после получения диплома. Безусловно, те специалисты, которые уже имеют высшее образование, встают на траекторию постоянного обучения, но имеющиеся проблемы формируют гигантский провал между сторонами одной системы – вузом, работодателями и самими выпускниками. Часто работодатели проявляют излишне высокие требования к выпускникам. Компетенции будущих финансовых менеджеров формируются иногда без учета потребности в реальном секторе. Потребители системы высшего образования остаются не удовлетворены качеством выпускников, производители не имеют связи со сферой рынка труда для обеспечения нужными компетенциями. Кадровая политика большинства российских организаций ориентирована в основном на достижение текущих результатов, а не на перспективное развитие; вузы же должны строить свой учебный процесс на перспективу, готовя специалистов с ориентацией на опережающий спрос на рабочую силу. Возникает разрыв между двумя системами, которые должны работать в прочной связке. Отсутствует государственное регулирование прямой и обратной связи между рынком образовательных услуг и запросами работодателей. Поэтому данные виды коллаборации необходимо продумывать самим вузам либо работодателям. Автором проведено исследование работодателей, выявившее основные формы и показатели коллаборации вузовской системы и работодателей. Определены уровень потенциальной вовлеченности в систему сотрудничества с работодателями, возможные варианты и направления совместной деятельности в области набора студентов, организации практики и формирования компетенций для повышения эффективности. Статья предназначена для руководителей образовательных организаций, преподавателей, работодателей. Today employers are the center of consumption for university graduates. But over the past decades, the higher education system has discrepancy for its target audience - society and the labor market. It is impossible to predict the progress of labor market, our society is still at the stage of reforming. The socio-economic sphere suffers from non-systemic transformations. Qualitative changes are taking place in the labor market, the preponderance of specialists in some areas of training, while there is a colossal shortage of other specialists. Graduates remain unclaimed after graduation. Graduates are embarking on a continuous learning trajectory, but problems create a gap between the parties of the same system - the university, employers and graduates. Often employers show excessively high demands on graduates. The competencies of future financial managers are building up without taking into account the need for the real sector. Consumers of the higher education system remain dissatisfied with the quality of graduates, manufacturers have no connection with the labor market to provide the necessary competencies. The personnel policy of most Russian organizations is focused mainly on achieving current results without long-term development. Universities should build their educational process for the future based on labor`s demands. There is a gap between the two systems, which must work in a strong bond. There is no government regulation of direct and feedback between the educational services market and employers' requests. Therefore, universities should make collaborations with employers by themselves. The author conducted a study of employers, which revealed the main forms and indicators of collaboration between the university system and employers. The level of potential involvement in the system of cooperation with employers, possible options and directions of joint activities in the field of student recruitment, organization of practice and the formation of competencies to improve efficiency have been determined. The article is intended for heads of educational organizations, teachers, employers.

Today, the system of higher education around the world continues to take measures to effectively organize educational activities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. All METHODS OF TEACHING AT HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS Issue I (81), 2021 131 countries of the world had to face unexpected difficulties in connection with the introduction of self-isolation. The higher education system was "on the front lines" with a large number of people. The closure of higher education institutions and the emergency transition to distance learning have led to obvious problems, mainly due to insufficient technical equipment, lack or poor preparation of both teachers and students to work in the new environment. These and other problems pose another challenge to the higher education system in a critical situation. At the same time, along with the obvious challenges and problems, the new format of distance learning provides a wide range of opportunities and prospects for change and improvement of educational systems, for which the critical situation creates forced conditions. The article substantiates the importance of effective distance learning in higher education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and outlines the main problems of the individual in the relationship "teacher-student" in quarantine. The current stage of informatization of society cannot be imagined without the introduction of information and communication technologies in all parts of the education system, educational institutions and government. These technologies are especially relevant in quarantine, as they allow you to implement distance learning. It is also important that distance education expands and renews the role of the teacher, makes him a mentor-consultant who should coordinate the cognitive process, constantly improve the courses he teaches, and increase creativity and skills in accordance with innovations and innovations. During distance education, there is also a positive impact on higher education: increasing their creative and intellectual potential through self-organization, the desire for knowledge, the use of modern information and telecommunications technologies, the ability to make responsible decisions. The analysis of the research devoted to distance educational process, has allowed to reveal its other basic features, in particular: orientation on independent cognitive activity; significant potential opportunities for distance learning to intensify educational and cognitive activities; the possibility of organizing open learning, expanding the audience of consumers of educational services; integration of world educational services; reduction, under certain conditions, of material costs for the organization and implementation of the learning process.

Pendidikan di Malaysia kian menjadi satu perusahaan berwayar. Pengintegrasian Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (TMK) dalam kursus yang ditawarkan oleh institusi pengajian tinggi dilihat sebagai pemangkin dalam melahirkan pelajar terarah kendiri sepanjang hayat. Dalam hal ini, Komunikasi Berasaskan Komputer (CMC) dilihat sebagai alat yang dapat membantu pelajar memperoleh maklumat di hujung jari pada bila–bila masa dan di mana sahaja. Kajian ini menyiasat autonomi pelajar melalui program atas talian jarak jauh. Instrumen kajian yang digunakan merangkumi tinjauan soal selidik, protokol temuduga separa berstruktur dan interaksi mel elektronik. Sampel populasi kajian pula melibatkan persampelan bertujuan apabila satu kelas pelajar yang mengikuti B.Ed (TESL) di sebuah universiti tempatan yang menawarkan kursus secara atas talian dipilih sebagai sampel kajian. Dapatan awal memperlihatkan bahawa pada dasarnya, pelajar tahun satu tidak menganggap diri mereka sebagai pelajar terarah kendiri yang berupaya mengurus pembelajaran mereka. Malah, maklum balas mereka terhadap semua aspek autonomi yakni merancang, mengurus, memantau, menilai dan kebolehan mengguna komputer hanya mencatatkan respon sederhana positif sahaja. Justeru jika pelajar tertiari dikehendaki melibatkan diri dalam pembelajaran melalui CMC, maka para pendidik dan institusi pengajian tinggi bertanggungjawab memastikan pelajar dibimbing secara sistematik dan dibekalkan dengan kemahiran, alat, sikap dan pengetahuan melalui program latihan pelajar tentang bagaimana mereka boleh mengurus pembelajaran mereka. Kata kunci: Pelajar terarah kendiri, Komunikasi Berasaskan Komputer (KBK), pembelajaran tidak segerak, interaksi secara talian Education in Malaysia is fast becoming a “wired enterprise.” The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in course offerings in institutions of higher learning (IHL) is seen as the catalyst towards producing lifelong autonomous learners. Hence, Computer–Mediated Communication (CMC) is seen as the tool to assist learners in acquiring information at their fingertips anywhere and anytime. This paper employed a descriptive research methodology to investigate learner autonomy via an online distance–learning program. The research instruments used included survey questionnaires, semi–structured interview protocols and email interactions. The sample population for this study entailed purposive sampling where one intact class of first year students pursuing the B. Ed. (TESL) course in a local university offering online distance learning was selected. Initial findings indicated that first year university students generally, did not consider themselves to be truly independent learners capable of managing their own learning. In fact, their responses in all aspects of learner autonomy abilities viz. planning, organizing, monitoring, evaluating and computer usage recorded moderately positive responses. In lieu of this, if today’s tertiary students are required to participate through CMC, it is the responsibility of educators and IHL to systematically guide and provide learners the skills, tools, attitude and knowledge through learner training programs on how they can learn to take responsibility for their own learning. Key words: Learner autonomy, Computer–Mediated Communication (CMC), asynchronous learning, online interactions
