New Associations

Most of the distance-learning professional associations were founded in the 1990s, at a time when most Internet backbone speeds were T1 or slower. Although scientists in universities, corporate, and military used the Internet for supercomputing capabilities, the predominant academic application was electronic mail. The public was generally unaware of the Internet’s existence. The explosive growth of information and telecommunications has combined to strengthen and diversify the options for school, skills development, technical and professional training, postsecondary credit courses, and special interests. New associations are established everyday to promote innovative educational strategies, as well as ways to leverage technology to provide new ways of learning online. Each strategy suggested has some measure of support among the professional associations’ participants, and represents a way to improve opportunities for distance education, and training: 1. Developing strategic alliances to support and encourage project-oriented coalitions amongst members as the need and opportunity arise. 2. Recommending standards of quality 3. Institution promotion under a common logo within the region and beyond 4. Identifying support markets that are currently unserved. 5. Sharing technological and human resources for development and delivery 6. Conducting applied research and development of distance-education technology and instructional design. 7. Developing and maintaining a system to provide a central source of current and relevant information on courses and programs, the credit transfer system, and student assistance programs.

Background and objective: Distance education (DE) is a professional training tool that was utilized to work with nursing professionals in this investigation on palliative care. This innovative form of care is used by interdisciplinary teams in a holistic way, with biological, psychological and spiritual aspects. Besides it is uniquely significant during pandemic lockdowns such as the current restrictions in nowadays. The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge of nursing professionals about palliative care, before and after an educational intervention through distance education.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study carried out in a medium-sized state teaching hospital located in the Midwest region of Brazil. Participants: 31 nursing professionals who worked in the internal medicine ward. First phase, the prior knowledge about palliative care was evaluated through a questionnaire containing 24 semi-structured questions. In the second phase seven 20-minute video lessons were prepared, recorded and sent to the participating group. Third phase the same questionnaire was used to evaluate participants and they were inquired how they perceived they knowledge after distance learning.Results: A total of 31 professionals were enrolled in the first phase of the study and 29 answered the evaluation questionnaire after DE intervention. Most nursing professionals (61.2%) had between 31 and 50 years, 30 (96.7%) professionals had studied between 10 and 20 years. After DE there was an increase of 33% correct answers. Distance learning improved professional practice and increased confidence at work.Conclusions: Distance education is well accepted and promotes an increase of knowledge by up to a third on palliative care issues and also increased self-confidence among professionals.

The article presents the state of distance education for the professional training of graduate students in specialties 017 Physical culture and sports and 014 Secondary education (physical culture) on the example of the T.G. Shevchenko National University "Chernihiv collegium". Positive and negative aspects of introduction of distance learning for the purpose of professional training of future specialists of these specialties are presented, taking into account the characteristics of the student contingent and Chernihiv region specifics. Masters students of the region do not refuse traditional forms of education, moreover, they emphasize the impossibility of entering the system of distance learning from the border regions of the region (Chernihiv region borders with the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation), offer to duplicate the information of distance courses placed on the platform printed (or e-versions) materials that, on the one hand, will facilitate their perception of the material, and on the other hand, will partially make it impossible for individual students and / or group tasks to be performed. The data of questioning of graduate students 2017-2018 of these specialties indicate that it is inappropriate to see a complete transition to distance education of 70% of respondents, an appropriate partial transition - 81%, refuse to use platforms - 8%, express fears that they will not be able to master the discipline, located on the platform - 15%. The perspective opportunities of the distance education development for the specified specialties are singled out, considering the characteristics of the target audience, in particular, the growth of the number of working masters and graduate students who receive additional higher education, future specialists from the metropolitan regions, who seek to obtain an inexpensive additional higher education (in the regions) means of distance learning, an increase in the number of graduates of these specialties who are in service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and law enforcement agencies. The necessity of considering the features of the region and the mentality of the population during the transition to the distance education is emphasized.

Shed Light

<p>The face-to-face mode is always considered as the normal mode of teaching, and distance education is often understood as a remedy for the lack of material and human resources necessary to conduct training; but to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID19), the distance course system has been launched in different countries to ensure continuity of teaching during the period when courses are stopped. In order to shed light on the role of distance learning during the spread of the coronavirus and its effectiveness in successfully continuing the learning process, an investigation was carried out in the Moroccan context. This survey was launched as a questionnaire with 565 participants; they are students and teachers from primary, secondary, university and professional training. The objective is to answer several research questions concerning the current use of distance education during the COVID19 pandemic. The results of this survey are presented in this article as well as their analysis showing that solutions and alternatives must be adopted in order to improve the teaching and learning process in the event of a situation like COVID19.</p>
