Abstract Distance learning and e-learning have significantly developed in recent years. It is also due to changing educational requirements, especially for adults. The article aims to show the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. Examples of the 20-year use of the distance learning form of computer science describe the difficulties associated with the implementation and implementation of this form of teaching. The results of students in the full-time and distance form of teaching in the bachelor’s study of computer science are compared. Long-term findings show that distant students have significantly lower scores in the first years of study than full-time bachelor students. In the following years of study, the differences diminish, and students’ results are comparable. The article describes the possibilities of improving the quality of distance learning.

The article presents the results of a questionnaire survey of students – future educational psychologists, which made it possible to determine the main advantages and disadvantages of the forced transition to distance education in a pandemic, and present conclusions about the possibilities and prospects of using this type of education in vocational education. The study involved 1-4 year students of full-time and part-time forms of study of the Faculty of Psychology of Tula State Pedagogical University named after L.N. Tolstoy in the amount of 289 people. The main advantages of the distance learning student are the availability of educational materials and information in the individual trajectory of passing the disciplines at any time, convenience in organizing independent work, the ability to plan their own time. The main difficulties identified by students are associated with high workload, insufficient time allotted for interaction with teachers, lack of technical capabilities for implementing the distance learning process at home. In general, students positively assessed the use of distance education and spoke about the advisability of using a mixed form – distance and fulltime education, the importance of psychological and pedagogical support for the subjects of the educational process in solving problems arising in the process of distance learning.

Statement of the problem. The variety of new models, forms and methods of organizing school lessons in the context of ICT actualizes the problem of finding objective and affordable ways to assess the quality of a modern lesson. The purpose of the article is to substantiate an expert-criteria approach to assessment of the quality of lessons, which use elements of e-learning and distance educational technologies. The idea of ​​designing a methodology for assessing the quality of lessons is to create expert questionnaires that include weighted criteria quality indicators, as well as questionnaires and test materials. Research methodology is the analysis and synthesis of regulatory documents of basic general education, research works of Russian and foreign scientists, experience in teaching students computer science at different levels of general education. Research results. The paper proposes and substantiates an expert-criteria procedural scheme for evaluating the quality of modern lessons that use elements of e-learning and distance learning technologies. The method of assessing the quality of lessons consists in creating expert questionnaires that include weight criteria for quality, as well as questionnaire and test materials. Conclusion. Currently, the performance of testing of test tasks for evaluating each type of educational results (personal, subject, and meta-subject) is being tested and a pedagogical experiment is being carried out in Secondary School No. 9 of Krasnoyarsk to conduct lessons in Computer Science of four types: 1) without the use of the digital educational resources (DER); 2) with partial use of the DER; 3) with long-term use of the DER; 4) mega-lessons (the use of the DER throughout the lesson). The procedural scheme for collecting and processing expert indicators is formalized and provides for the possibility of automating statistical data processing and subsequent improvement of criteria based on the “constructor” principle. The proposed method can be used by school administrations to make decisions on the management of the educational process.

The article examines the social effects of distance learning in Mongolia introduced in connection with the quarantine measures. The Mongolian education system was quite successfully transferred into an online format from the start. A positive factor in this regard was the unified system of textbooks operating throughout the country. Gradually, negative trends became noticeable - a decrease in quality of education. Special qualitative and quantitative international studies on this topic appeared in a remote format almost a year later. They testified the existence of colossal technical and intellectual inequalities and the dissatisfaction of most parents with the existing system. A large role in attitude change towards e-learning has played its lengthy duration. For University students, the prolonged distance learning has caused dissatisfaction in education quality which led them to demand lower tuition fees. The most negative effects of distance education in Mongolia includes a drop in the real quality of knowledge, formation of technical and intellectual inequality. Due to the implementation of distance learning for such a long time, Mongolia's educational system is in a serious downfall. The situation becomes is even more fragile as a result of its continuous reforms combined with prolonged distance learning according to some Mongolian researchers.

Presented is definition of the notion of “distance education”. It’s advantages and disadvantages are being discussed. It is shown, that distance education is in fact a combination of full-time and part-time forms of education, and therefore leading to significant increase of academic independent activity and, as a result, students’ overwork. It is proposed to introduce into the university academic process two different curricula for each specialty. The master curriculum is designed for full-time education. The second curriculum is designed for distance learning. The master curriculum needs to be modernized by transferring all disciplines that play a supportive role or serve for general educational development into the category of optional ones. Education in the normal course according to the master curriculum involves studying both compulsory subjects and optional courses equally. In the event of force majeure circumstances, the second curriculum is introduced and only compulsory subjects remain for learning, and all optional courses are removed from the schedule. This would allow relieving the distance education student without lowering either the level or the quality of education.

Abstract PurposeDecompressive craniectomy (DC) can rapidly reduce intracranial pressure and save lives in the acute phase of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke, but little is known about the long-term outcome after DC. We evaluated quality of life (QoL) a few years after DC for severe TBI/stroke.MethodsThe following data were collected for stroke/TBI patients hospitalized for neurorehabilitation after DC: 1) at discharge, motor and cognitive sub-scores of the Functional Independence Measure (motor-FIM [score 13-91] and cognitive-FIM [score 5-35]) and 2) more than 4 years after discharge, the QOLIBRI health-related QoL (HR-QoL) score (0-100; <60 representing low or impaired QoL) and the return to work (RTW: 0%, partial, 100%)ResultsWe included 88 patients (66 males, median age 38 [interquartile range 26.3-51.0], 65 with TBI/23 stroke); 46 responded to the HR-QoL questionnaire. Responders and non-responders had similar characteristics (age, sex, functional levels upon discharge). Median motor-FIM and cognitive-FIM scores were 85/91 and 27/35, with no significant difference between TBI and stroke patients. Long-term QoL was borderline low for TBI patients and within normal values for stroke patients (score 58.0[42.0-69.0] vs. 67.0[54.0-81.5], p=0.052). RTW was comparable between the groups (62% full time).ConclusionWe already knew that DC can save the lives of TBI or stroke patients in the acute phase and this study suggests that their long-term quality of life is generally quite acceptable.
