Технологии меняют образ жизни и деятельность человека. Глобальная сеть Интернет облегчает быстрый доступ к полезной информации. Социальная, культурная и образовательная конкурентоспособность находятся под влиянием образовательных технологий, которые положительно влияют на стиль, продолжительность и метод обучения в высших учебных заведениях. Дистанционное образование возможно применять и как полноценную самодостаточную форму, и как дополнение к классическому обучению в аудиториях. Автор рассматривает в статье дистанционную форму обучения как альтернативу традиционной форме преподавания в вузах на время периодов самоизоляции (пандемии, сезонные карантины), а также как дополнение к традиционным формам обучения. Анализируются проблемные и положительные аспекты применения данной формы. Указаны возможные форматы обучения в условиях дистанционного образования. Выделены сильные и слабые стороны использования некоторых технологий. Technologies alter the way of living and work of a person. The Internet world network makes it easier to quickly access useful information. Social, cultural and educational competitiveness are influenced by educational technologies that positively influence the style, duration and method of education in higher education institutions. Distance education can be used as a full-fledged self-sufficient form, or as a Supplement to classical training in classrooms. The author considers distance learning as an alternative to the traditional form of teaching in higher education institutions during periods of self-isolation (pandemics, seasonal quarantines), as well as as an addition to traditional forms of education. The problem and positive aspects of using this form are analyzed. Possible formats of training in the conditions of distance education are specified.

Online Distance

Online distance learning is offered not only in post-secondary distance education institutions but in traditional universities as well. With advances in mobile and wireless technologies, completing academic studies anywhere anytime should become feasible. Research in distance education and online learning has focused on computer-mediated communication, instructional design, learner characteristics, educational technology, and learning outcomes. However, little attention has been given to where exactly learners do their learning and studying and how the physical and social aspects of the physical environment within which the online learner is physically embedded (e.g., the home) supports and constrains learning activities. In this paper, the author proposes a conceptual model for understanding the role that the physical environment plays in online distance learning in higher education, drawing on theories and research in environmental psychology, online learning, telework and mobile work, and higher education. Several gaps in research are identified, and suggestions for future research are proposed.

As regras para a educação brasileira estão na Carta Magna e na Lei de diretrizes e base da Educação Nacional (nº 9.394/96). A base legislativa que trata da modalidade de ensino a distância são os artigos 80 e 81 da lei 9.394/96. Estes artigos são regulamentados por decretos e portarias. A partir do exposto questiona-se como a legislação brasileira regulamenta o ensino híbrido? Este estudo tem como objetivo abordar a evolução do ensino superior à distância e compreender a legislação que possibilita o ensino híbrido. Para responder ao objetivo proposto realizou-se uma revisão da legislação nacional após a Constituição Federal de 1988 (CF/88) tendo como base a hierarquia das normas disposta no artigo 59 da CF/88. Segundo o texto constitucional há uma hierarquia entre as normas jurídicas brasileiras, a Constituição Federal é a norma ápice, que deve ser respeitada pelas Leis Ordinárias criadas sob sua vigência e, consequentemente, os decretos que regulamentarem as Leis Ordinárias devem estar em consonância com estas, assim como as portarias que esclarecem os decretos devem estar em conformidade com estes, pois, nesta ordem, todas as normas, de forma hierárquica, estarão de acordo com a Constituição Federal.  O Decreto que está em vigor regulamenta o artigo 80 da Lei 9.394/96 é o de nº 9.057/2017 e as últimas portarias publicadas pelo MEC sobre ensino a distância são a de nº 2.117 de 2019 e acrescenta-se a portaria nº 343 de 2020 (específica para os tempos de pandemia).   Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior. Legislação Brasileira. Educação a Distância.   Abstract The rules for Brazilian education are in the Carta Magna and in the Law of guidelines and basis of National Education (nº 9.394 / 96). The legislative basis that deals with the distance learning modality are articles 80 and 81 of law 9.394 / 96. These articles are regulated by decrees and ordinances. Based on the above, it is questioned how Brazilian legislation regulates  blended learning? This study aims to address the evolution of higher education at a distance and understand the legislation that makes blended learning possible. In order to respond to the proposed objective, a review of national legislation was carried out after the Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF / 88) based on the hierarchy of rules set out in article 59 of CF / 88. According to the constitutional text, there is a hierarchy among the Brazilian legal norms, the Federal Constitution is the apex norm, which must be respected by the Ordinary Laws created under its validity and, consequently, the decrees that regulate the Ordinary Laws must be in line with these, as well as the ordinances that clarify the decrees must be in conformity with them, because, in this order, all rules, hierarchically, will be in accordance with the Federal Constitution. The Decree that is in force regulating article 80 of Law 9.394 / 96 is No. 9.057 / 2017 and the latest ordinance published by the MEC on hybrid education is No. 2,117 of 2019 and No. 343 of 2020 (specific for pandemic times).   Keywords: Higher Education.

The Past

Distance education has become an integral part of the educational system around the world. Official statistics on distance education, confirm a steady increase in the number of participants in distance learning and courses. The range of courses offered by more than 200 distance learning institutions, including about 1500 courses, of which about 75% – vocational and about 25% – general education. For the most part, this method of training is offered mainly by private institutes.The success of distance learning can be explained against the backdrop of changing conditions in economics, technology, and society. By the era of industrial society, the educational ideal of modern society was oriented to the classical educational systems for that time, which originated in antiquity. In many countries, traditional social norms have changed over the past 20 years.One authoritative researcher in the field of distance education noted that technology as a service delivery system has played an important role in the development of distance education and research. Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the number of educational institutions that offer a service such as distance learning. There has also been an increase in the number of students receiving distance education not only in our country, but also in educational institutions around the world.Despite the fact that there have been extensive studies of open distance learning, there is no consensus on the indisputable benefit or inadmissibility of distance learning in higher education. Identification and study of problematic issues in the field of distance education implementation remains very relevant today.In this article we want to consider some problematic issues of distance learning in higher education, which is considered today the most favorable for the study and implementation of the model of exclusively online learning.
