At the Ural Federal University, the transfer of certain categories of students to the distance learning system has been carried out - about 7,000 students. The decision to remotely transfer other categories, including full-time students, will be made depending on the regulations of regional and federal executive bodies and on the development of the epidemiological situation.
At the moment, the university continues to work as usual.
“The distance form is a technology embedded in the educational process of a university that allows students to master programs in full. The transfer to it should be thought out, as it depends on many factors, - says the rector of UrFU Victor Koksharov. “It is necessary to ensure the availability of information resources, as well as the observance of curricula.”
UrFU is ready to provide other Russian universities its online sources: online courses and modules, electronic textbooks and teaching aids, access to electronic libraries, test and measurement materials. The university entered the all-Russian working group on the organization of distance learning during the epidemiological situation. The working group, which includes representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, leading universities and high-tech companies, develops an agreed list of measures.
In order to protect the health of students, employees of educational and scientific organizations in connection with the unfavorable situation for a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valery Falkov signed an order recommending the universities to provide educational programs using e-learning and distance learning technologies.
