The Open Universities and Dual Mode Universities in India are catering millions of Open Distance Learners (ODL) through its chain of Regional Centres and Learner Support Centres (Study Centres) across the country. In order to improve the Gross Enrollment Ration (GER), the regulatory bodies should act as facilitator rather than the administrator or inspector. Today, Open Distance Learning (ODL) offered by the Open Universities and Dual mode Universities in India is at cross roads because of multiple control and regulation by several regulatory bodies of the Central Government. A new approach is needed by the regulatory bodies as well as the Govt. of India to remove obstacles put forth by various Regulations restricting the very access of open and distance learning to reap the demographic dividends in the country. This paper critically analyzes the aspects that affect the ODL being offered through Open and Dual mode universities. The paper also critically highlights the challenges being faced by the ODL institutions as well as the opportunities available to them. The paper also touching the latest global trends related to distance and digital learning.

Research Type

The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused disruption to Indonesia's education sector where approximately 45 million students are unable to continue their learning activities in school. One solution is Long Distance Learning,  this study aims to find out (1) the long distance remote learning system applied, (2) the impact of the Long Distance Learning system on student achievement, (3) obstacles in the application of Long Distance Learning system.   The research method used in this study is qualitative method with descriptive research type qualitative approach. The results of this study show that the implementation of Long Distance Learning still has many obstacles such as inadequate equipment and poor internet connection, in addition to the increase in learning success is still small and ineffective

Face To Face Learning

The classical models of teaching in education represent one of the main pillars of face-to-face learning. Digital learning allows access to different instances of distance learning, which constitutes a key role in setting up a distance learning system. Every model is adapted to a type of training. Digital learning has become more and more a necessity for the whole civil society, universities have had a tendency to be followed and to development in the pedagogical field, more precise training and new learning modes. With this effect, the choice of the appropriate model to this type of training is very important to take into consideration to better exploit the resources. In the following article, the authors will try to analyze the different classical models of teaching and to analyze distance learning in order to identify the most appropriate model, the main goal of the subject is to show the relevance of the adoption of the teaching model in distance learning.

The article presents the experience of mass organization of distance learning in organizations of secondary general and vocational education in March—May 2020 in connection with the difficult epidemiological situation in Russia. The possibilities of the 1C:Education system for organizing the educational process in a distance format, the peculiarities of organizing distance interaction in schools and colleges are considered, the results of using the system are summarized, examples of the successful use of the system in specific educational organizations are given. Based on the questionnaire survey of users, a number of capabilities of the 1C:Education system have been identified, which are essential for the full-fledged transfer of the educational process from full-time to distance learning. The nature and frequency of the use of electronic educational resources in various general education subjects in schools and colleges are analyzed, the importance of the presence in the distance learning system not only of a digital library of ready-made educational materials, but also of tools for creating author’s content is assessed. On the basis of an impersonal analysis of user actions in the system, a number of problems were identified that teachers and students faced in the process of an emergency transition to distance learning.

The article considers an issue of information security of the distance education systems. It analyzes the functions and architecture of the typical distance education system. With considering the requirements of information security it also discusses the university information system for solving the distance learning problems. The author defines valuable assets and information resources and describes the existing security threats. The subjects of interaction in the distance learning mode are presented. There is a consideration of the principal directions of the university’s activity in the distance learning system, requiring constant monitoring of information security. A threat model is worked out and the main security vulnerabilities are highlighted. The analysis of the causes and consequences of information security violation in the distance learning system is carried out and most vulnerable and critical nodes were identified. The hardware and software requirements for the remote mode work are regarded. A recommended list of hardware and software tools that ensure compliance with safety requirements is presented. The major lines of protection for distance learning systems are highlighted. The article proves the necessity of conducting a regular security assessment as a means for monitoring an effectiveness of the protection system.

The urgency of the task of developing tools for neural network analysis of biometric parameters for recognizing the personality and emotions of students of the distance learning system has been substantiated. The necessity of formalizing the architectural solutions used in the creation of software for neural network analysis of biometric parameters is shown. As a result of the research carried out in terms of the UML modeling language, the architecture of the neural network analyzer of biometric parameters has been developed. Diagrams of options for using the neural network analyzer have been developed both for recognizing the personality of a student when entering the system, and for recognizing the personality and emotions of a student in the process of his interaction with the distance learning system. Also, based on the developed use case diagrams, a structural diagram of the analyzer is built. The necessity of including subsystems for determining the functional parameters of the analyzer, registration of biometric parameters, neural network analysis of registered biometric parameters, personality recognition and emotion recognition is substantiated. An original feature of the proposed architectural solutions is the introduction into the neural network analysis subsystem of an integrated analysis module designed to summarize the results of neural network analysis separately for each of the biometric parameters. A rule for making an integrated decision has been developed, taking into account the results of a neural network analysis of each of the registered biometric parameters and the corresponding weight coefficients determined by expert evaluation. The introduction of the integrated analysis module makes it possible to increase the accuracy of recognition of emotions and personality of a student, since the final classification is realized through a generalized assessment of several guaranteed significant biometric parameters. In addition, the use of this module makes it possible to increase the reliability of the neural network analyzer in case of difficulties associated with the registration of a particular biometric parameter. It has been established that the decision-making rule can be improved by using one or more neural networks in the integrated analysis module, designed to generalize the results of the neural network analysis of all registered biometric parameters. It is proposed to correlate the directions of further research with the development of appropriate neural network solutions.
