The name “distance learning” itself means that learning takes place at a distance. Often, students have a desire to study at a prestigious Moscow university, but they cannot come to the capital for a long time, and they cannot study. Then distance learning comes to the rescue, which has the features of both full-time and distance learning. For such studies, the student will only need a laptop or tablet, as well as a great desire to learn.

Distance learning begins with the submission of an application and the necessary copies of documents certified by a notary. If a student who wants to enroll in distance learning lives in another city, he sends documents by mail. Then a contract is concluded with him and after paying for the tuition, the student is enrolled in the university.

Distance learning is especially common among those who want to get a second higher education, enroll in advanced training courses or MBA programs. Thus, most of all, such training is suitable for adults and busy people who do not have time to attend lectures in person, but still want to be able to listen to the material from the mouth of the lecturer and analyze problematic issues with him directly, and not with the help of mere textbooks, as is the case with distance learning. However, this form of education can also be chosen as the first higher education.

Remote learning takes place according to the schedule using materials on the university website, recordings, live communication in the form of conferences, as well as communication with the student using e-mail, icq, or skype. Distance learning students, like all other students, are enrolled in certain groups, they are given a class schedule and a password to access their personal account on the site. In this personal account, students can find materials available to them for study - lecture notes, notes, textbooks, control and other test materials. There they are given assignments for a week or a semester. All these materials can also be sent to the student's e-mail.

With such training, the student does not have an individual schedule, he must obey a certain schedule, which is planned at the university. And yet, he does not have to spend most of his day at the monitor, because in the format of live communication, which requires the obligatory presence of a student, only seminars or colloquia are held. All other materials can be studied by the student when it is convenient for him. However, distance learning requires a lot of discipline, perseverance and willpower from the student. No one will force you to study here, but you still have to take all the tests, tests, exams and term papers at the end of the semester.

Each student is assigned a curator who will help him in learning and answer questions about the organization of the entire process. Teachers usually also set aside time at least once a month for consultations on the subject. You can come to the city where the university is located for face-to-face consultations, but this is not necessary. The obligatory presence of a student is usually required at the university only during the passing of state exams and the defense of a thesis.

It is already difficult to imagine the modern education system without various forms of distance learning, which are carried out using the latest technologies or in the traditional correspondent way.

Distance learning (DL) is a set of technologies that provide students with the bulk of the material for study and testing. It originated in Europe at the end of the 18th century, with the advent of regular postal service and "correspondent training". However, quite modern universities practice it today, along with the use of the latest information technologies.

It is worth noting that many use different definitions of distance learning and education, such as “open”, “virtual”, “electronic”, “online”. Back in 1969, the world's first distance education university, the Open University, was founded in the UK.

Today, various DL technologies are used, the scope of which depends on the means of information support used, methods of managing the cognitive activity of students, methods of control and self-control of knowledge. Different forms of distance education have their own ways of assessing knowledge and their own required level of teacher training.

Optimization of distance learning at the present stage of development of the educational system makes it possible to structure the educational process depending on the means of delivery of training courses. This, in turn, determines the ways of interaction between teachers and students.

At present, the most promising is interactive interaction in the process of distance learning via the Internet (chat classes, webinars, web conferences). In 2003, the development of a unified standard for interactive learning SCORM began, which will gradually lead to an expansion of the list of requirements for the content of courses and the software used.

Thus, the use of distance learning technologies allows, firstly, to reduce the amount of training costs, secondly, to conduct simultaneous training of a large number of people and, thirdly, to create a unified educational environment (which is especially important for corporate training). In addition, the quality level of DL is constantly increasing through the use of modern means of communication, electronic libraries, and the latest software.

In the modern world, it is possible to receive higher education without daily attendance at an educational institution. This opportunity is provided by distance learning, which is carried out thanks to information and educational technologies and communication systems.

This type of education provides great opportunities for obtaining the desired education for people who, for a number of reasons, cannot attend an educational institution full-time or are unable to study in another city (country). Distance learning provides a comfortable acquisition of knowledge due to the fact that the student is at home, in the usual for him, the environment, he chooses the timing and pace of education. At the same time, despite the independent acquisition of knowledge, the student can at any moment count on the help of a teacher, which is carried out via the Internet. such systems as web-chat, IRC, ICQ, TV, web-telephony, Telnet come to help). In addition, there is an asynchronous way of transferring knowledge to students, which consists in independently completing assignments and studying material provided in printed form, on floppy disks, CDs, and cassettes, on web forums and web pages, in Usenet guest and teleconferences. Modern technologies through distance education, they allow people with disabilities to receive diplomas, for example, deaf, blind or sick people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Distance learning is used not only for students to receive education. This method of acquiring knowledge is very convenient for schoolchildren who, due to illness, cannot attend school for a long time or are forced to receive education at home. In addition, with the help of distance learning, employees of various corporations are retrained and their qualifications are improved. The difference between distance learning and distance learning is that in the latter case there is a common lesson plan for all students, the deadline for passing exams and obtaining a diploma, i.e. there is no individual approach. However, not all professions and knowledge can be obtained remotely. So, for example, it is practically impossible to learn some types of creative activity on your own, in the absence of direct contact between the student and the teacher. This applies to learning to play musical instruments, singing, painting, dancing.

Along with full-time, evening and correspondence forms of education, a distance education system is actively developing today, accessible to almost anyone. This type of training has no age, professional, territorial restrictions, and it is successfully used by people who are not able to attend classes full-time or often travel to sessions due to employment at work, health status, remoteness of the university, care for young children.

Distance learning is carried out using the educational portal of the university. When enrolling a student, login and for access to the educational and methodological materials of the course: texts of teaching aids, assignments for independent and control work and recommendations for their implementation, schedule for studying the material, etc. For convenience, some of the manuals can be duplicated in paper form or on CDs.

The sequence of studying subjects and the pace of learning is determined individually, so the total duration of the educational process depends on each individual student, his abilities and wishes. You can complete the entire course in the traditional 5-6 years, or in a shorter period if you study intensively, or taking into account life circumstances, study for a longer time.

Teachers, methodologists and technical support specialists through telephone or video communication, as well as e-mail and communication on the university forum, provide students with regular consultations on issues that arise during the educational process. However, distance learning does not exclude face-to-face communication. As a rule, once a year, students must attend sessions during which they attend lectures, seminars, do laboratory work, pass tests and exams. In addition, they can appear at the university more often, if necessary.

In those educational institutions where personal attendance at the exam is not required, the assimilation of material in academic disciplines is checked in an automated system that provides detailed and constant monitoring and makes it independent of the teacher, which in turn allows you to get an objective assessment of knowledge. However, in such cases, there is a problem of identifying the person performing the tasks, so these forms of control are not universally applied.

Universities for distance higher education

Almost every state university that offers distance education on the basis of higher education is provided with all the necessary material and technical base for this.

In 2012, the Russian Federation passed Law No. 273-FZ “Law on Education in the Russian Federation”, which legalized and streamlined distance higher education. In the field of education in Russia, this was a breakthrough, although this type of education has been practiced in the world for a long time.

• In 1969 The Open University (Open University UK) began to conduct distance learning using two-way radio.

Today, universities have the opportunity to conduct online seminars and take exams without meeting students in person. Therefore, educational institutions can offer a wide range of specialties that can be studied remotely.

Some of the most popular areas of distance education:

• management;

Whatever city you are in, you can study at any university in the country and abroad. You can find a complete list of universities of distance higher education on the website of the Unified Center for Higher Distance Education - ecvdo.ru or EduNetwork.ru.

How much does distance higher education cost?

Distance higher education is cheaper than full-time education both for the university itself and for students. The university does not pay for the premises and utilities, students do not pay for the road, notebooks and other attributes.

The specific cost of education depends on the university and on the level of qualification that you plan to receive. The approximate cost of studying for a bachelor's degree varies from 30 to 60 thousand rubles per semester.

For example, at the UNIQ Institute, a semester (half year) costs 48 000 rubles, training lasts 3.5-5 years, depending on whether this is your first or second education.

The cost of distance education abroad ( especially in European educational institutions) depends on the curriculum. The more items you choose, the more you pay. The load and cost is made up of ECTS— modular credit system. The annual load rate is 60 ECTS. For a bachelor's degree, you need to score 180-240 ECTS, that is, 3-4 years of study, and for a master's degree, 300 ECTS. In different universities, one ECTS costs differently, from 30 to 100 euros.

Another criterion is the popularity of the university.

Elite schools usually inflate their prices. For example, at the prestigious Open University in the UK, the cost of ECTS is 42 euros, that is, per year you will need to pay 2500-3500 euros depending on specialization.

in spanish Universidad a Distancia de Madrid the cost of ECTS is 73 euros, which means you will need to pay approximately 4380 euros per year.

The most expensive countries to study are America, England, Germany, France and Canada. But the level of education there is significantly higher than the level of other countries. Many foreign universities offer students to reduce the cost of education in case of high academic performance and the presence of personal achievements - this is how they motivate students to study better.

How is the training going?

• If you want to graduate remotely, you must have high speed internet and a webcam.

On the website of your university, you will have your own personal account, where you can see the class schedule, your homework, teachers' contacts, and you can download past lecture notes. For each lesson, you are sent a link to an online conference, which can take place through the service Cisco WebEx or Adobe. If you didn't attend the lecture, you can watch it at a convenient time in the recording. The only difference is that during the lecture you can immediately ask questions to the teacher in the group chat.

Distance learning lasts the same as usual. If you get a second degree, the time is significantly reduced (up to 1-3 years). After each session, you go on vacation, but some universities allow you to skip this time and proceed to the next course.

Distance education of the UNIK Institute

Here we can talk about receiving distance education on the example of a real student who shared his experience with us.

As we have already said, the obvious advantage of DO is that you can live not only in another city, but also in the country. Gleb lives in Moldova, but is studying to be a designer (digital design) at the UNIK Moscow Institute remotely. All documents for admission were sent by regular mail to the Moscow address of the university.

Eugene studies the basics of design, academic drawing, almost all programs of the Adobe family. Gleb told us about the most important advantages for him -

“Among the teachers, there are only acting professionals, that is, designers, directors of firms and studios, those who earn money not only by teaching, but also by design. The teachers are young from 25 to 40 years old, active and lively people who tell only relevant information, what you need to know today.”

The institute's training programs cover the full range of knowledge that a future specialist needs. Education in distance programs is equivalent to full-time education in conventional universities. The institute offers education in the following popular specialties:

1. Journalism. During the course, you communicate with experienced representatives of the profession, after graduation, each student is assisted in finding a job. The course will teach you to inspire confidence in people and correctly analyze information and events. The term of study is from 4.5 to 3.5 years. The cost is 40,000 rubles for six months.
2. Psychology. A serious but interesting program. The best teachers, lectures, seminars and master classes with famous psychologists.

Institute graduates work in various fields - from advertising agencies and the media to the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. After training, you will receive a state diploma. To enter the institute, it is enough to leave an application on the official website. Admissions specialists will call you and send you a detailed training plan. The staff of the institute will help to prepare the necessary documents, accept the introductory assignment and enroll you in the course.

Distance education abroad

If you have chosen to study abroad, first of all prepare the necessary documents. This is a certificate of complete secondary education, all necessary applications, letters of recommendation. All submitted documents will most likely have to be translated into a foreign language. When applying for a second higher education or a master's program, in addition to the standard package of documents, you must provide a diploma of higher education.

When applying to some English-speaking universities, you will have to take a language proficiency test, after which you will receive an international certificate TOEFL. If you want to enter a German university, you will need to pass TestDaF or DSH. Sometimes you have to take additional tests. For example, in order to become a student at the National University in the United States, you will need to pass tests in arithmetic and psychology.

The principle of operation of foreign universities is similar to the principle of operation of Russian ones. You register on the website of the educational institution, where you study lectures, pass tests, take part in seminars, communicate with fellow students, send completed work.

Distance higher education is a great opportunity to get a profession without attending lectures and seminars and without being distracted from work and other daily activities.

Distance education allows you to communicate with a student at a distance: provide him with the necessary literature, communicate with him and control his knowledge. All this makes the learning process easier, faster and more efficient.
