In the XXI century distance learning has become one of the most popular educational formats in higher education. The main driver of distance learning is the new needs of the labor market, requiring employees who are ready to adapt to changing conditions of the market and are included in the process of continuous self-improvement. Until now, the major part of the achievements of distance learning lay in the field of the humanities or special technical disciplines and was almost not integrated into the teaching of Mathematics in universities. We have developed and implemented a model of distance learning, adapted to the existing conditions for the teaching of mathematical disciplines in universities. The model, which was empirically tested during experiments conducted in the period from 2004 to 2018 at Southwestern State University and the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, demonstrated its effectiveness.

As práticas de formação que incentivam o desenvolvimento das habilidades afetivas em estudantes têm sido avaliadas no contexto de ensino a distância no Brasil. O estudo tem como objetivo apresentar práticas formativas e relacionais desenvolvidas no curso de Ciências Biológicas na modalidade a distância de uma universidade estadual no Ceará. É um estudo descritivo-reflexivo em forma de estudo de caso que discute experiências em andamento, sendo estas: Monitoria Acadêmica; Vida em Foco; Ciência na Escola e Musicalizando a Biologia. As atividades têm procurado desenvolver nos alunos o espírito de colaboração e da experiência de realidade em que, em um curto espaço de tempo, estarão inseridos. Acredita-se que, dessa forma, se permite um ensino mais crítico e reflexivo, no qual novas ferramentas são oportunizadas e que podem romper a hierarquia ainda persistente entre professores e alunos. Palavras-chave: Ensino; Atitude; Educação a distância; Educação superior; Tecnologia da educação.Beyond the Distance Education: Formation and Relational Practice in a Biological Sciences CourseAbstract Training practices that encourage the development of affective skills in students have been valued in the context of distance learning (DL) in Brazil. The study aims to provide formative and relational practices developed in the course of Biological Sciences in the distance mode of a state university in Ceara. It is descriptive-reflective research in the form of case study that discusses the following ongoing experiments: Academic Monitoring; Life in Focus; Science in School and Musicalizing Biology. The activities have sought to develop in students the spirit of collaboration and the experience of reality in which they, in a short time, will be placed. It is believed that  this way allows more critical and reflective teaching, in which new tools become available for DL that will break the persistent hierarchy between teachers and students.Keywords: Teaching; Attitude; Distance education; Higher education; Education technology.

The article examines the experience of implementing quest technologies in the process of training future professionals at the Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs. According to the results of the analysis of scientific and reference literature to define the concept and essence of the game, it is stated that scientists recognize its high effectiveness for adult learning compared to traditional pedagogical methods, emphasizing its significant advantages. It is emphasized that answering the questions and completing the tasks of the quest as part of the team, the cadets not only learn but also teach each other, exchange experience and knowledge, acquire "soft skills". It is stated that web-quests can be effectively used in extracurricular work of higher education students in order to increase the productivity of their independent work, the development of logical and creative thinking, stimulating cognitive motivation during distance learning. It is emphasized that in the conditions of distance learning quests in the form of a professional computer game deserve special attention, the software of which will provide an opportunity to assess the correctness of the decisions of each of its participants during the tasks. It is emphasized that the use of the educational-interactive complex "Line-102" creates unique conditions for the development of creative potential of cadets and at the applied level onnects the educational process with the practical component of the future profession. It is emphasized that conducting practical classes in the form of a quest using the opportunities of training grounds of the university gives higher education students the opportunity to approach the realities of practice, demonstrate the level of theoretical material, identify shortcomings in the organization and conduct of activities, including in compiling operational and service and procedural documents. Emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of the methodology of conducting and evaluating practical classes in the form of a quest in the process of training future police officers at each stage, as well as semester exams, defense practice (internship), state certifications. Emphasis was placed on the positive assessment of practitioners of the National Police involved in their implementation at the Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs.

The potential of Internet-enabled distance learning to transform higher education focuses attention on exactly what residential higher-education institutions do for and to their students. Two recent books marshal detailed quantitative and subjective data on individual student outcomes to document the effects of two institutions and how these outcomes might be improved. Paying for the Party concludes that a Midwestern state university reinforces existing economic inequalities rather than fostering upward mobility. How College Works finds that a northeastern liberal-arts college generally serves its students well and suggests low-cost improvements. These claims are evaluated. (JEL D63, I23, I24)

One of the main problems of the development of higher education in Indonesia is how to increase public participation that is usually reflected by the gross enrollment ratio (GER). One of the government's programs to increase access to higher education is to utilize distance learning (DL) as one of the model of instruction. The legal protection to implement the DL has been available namely Law No. 12 Year 2012 on Higher Education and, Regulation of Ministry of Education and Culture No. 109 Year 2013 on the Implementation of Distance Learning in Higher Education. In addition to the Open University (UT), there have not been a lot of Indonesian universities who develop and use DL as a learning model. This article conveying an experience of developing a not only valid, but also an effective blended learning model of instruction in the State University of Padang, in effort to expand access to higher education and finding alternative learning models to overcome the limitations that are owned by an institution of higher education

The article is devoted to the problem of distance learning in higher education. Distance learning is a very important component of the education system and has many advantages. These include: modularity, variability, development of independence and critical thinking, strong-willed personal qualities, as well as digital literacy. In addition, this form of education provides great opportunities for part-time students. Among the disadvantages of distance learning, there is a psychological discomfort that affects the effectiveness of training and satisfaction with its results. Its leveling is an important task for psychologists and other specialists who organise the process of distance learning. The article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying problems that arise in part-time students in the process of distance learning, conducted in Borisoglebsk branch of Voronezh State University. Using a specially designed questionnaire, 71 part-time students were interviewed. The subjects were found to have both technical and psychological difficulties. Among the latter, problems associated with the lack of "live communication", visual direct contact with teachers and other students are particularly common. The result of the study was the development of a number of psychological recommendations for optimising distance learning, which will increase its effectiveness and reduce the students' discomfort.

Choosing a university is not an easy matter, and, as a rule, it is a task of multi-criteria optimization, and one of the weighty criteria is career prospects. At present, the children of those who themselves were applicants during the USSR collapse started to choose a university. At that time, it was believed that only elite universities (Moscow State University, MGIMO, etc.) would serve as a social lift to the most prestigious organizations of business, government, and science. In part, this can explain the almost total desire of modern school graduates to have a higher education, although often it is the desire of their parents. Using the example of the higher education market in Russia, the author examines the tendencies of universities’ concentration, their stratifiation into three levels with different institutional conditions and the dominance of the upper levels (alpha universities) over the lower ones (beta and gamma universities). The article analyses Russian alpha universities’ features against the background of a similar global hierarchy and identifies development trends for universities after the explosive introduction of distance learning technologies.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.
