Teachers of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno are actively mastering distance learning technologies

A program of professional development of teachers “University of Educational Innovations: Distance Learning Technologies” was launched at Kupala University.

The program of full-time distance courses includes classes during which teachers and faculty specialists will be shown successful and promising methods of distance learning, as well as projects for creating and using distance courses.
According to the head of the Educational and Methodological Department of the Yanka Kupala State University Marina Kolotsei, distance education technologies have become firmly established in the educational practice of preparing students in most of the University's specialties. Elements of the distance learning model have been most successfully tested by University teachers in mixed and heuristic learning. Very often, classes begin in the classroom and continue in a network form, or, conversely, the interaction of teachers and students begins in a virtual space and flows smoothly into live communication at lectures and practical classes. Classical forms of the educational process are flexibly transformed, modified, become more practice-oriented and in demand by students.
In the classroom, students learn and test options for organizing and conducting online lectures, ways to create interactive learning elements in the Moodle system, get acquainted with the author's methodology for organizing distance learning activities of students using Google services, get practical experience in creating interactive video tasks, learn to use the case method in working with students in remote form, master the technology of conducting heuristic Internet classes, develop sets of computer tests.
During the course, students will act as both teachers and students. Teachers will work on two different platforms — the teacher's and the student's. The new methodological technique will help students not only master their own digital space, but also evaluate the possibilities of students' digital space.
The course program is designed for eight classes, which will be held in March-April 2020 in organizational form. The result of the students' work will be electronic interactive educational and methodological complexes for students.
Among the moderators of the courses are Marina Kolotsey, head of the Educational and Methodical Department, Anatoly Bogdevich, head of the Educational Department at EMM, Svetlana Gonchar, head of the Foreign Languages Department, Lee Jeong-gu, head of the International Business and Marketing Department, Oleg Kolyago, head of the Educational Innovations laboratory, and director of the Grodno State Educational Institution “Lyceum No. 1”, Igor Maslov.
