Distance Learning Continues: New Experience and Positive Results

13 May 2020

According to different indicators monitoring the educational process at MGIMO, there is a general and stable trend according to which both lecturers and students have adapted to online learning with, since the end of March, 99% of classes being conducting online and around 90% of students attending.

Faculty members have successfully completed the transition to remote teaching, with the majority, not only mastering new technologies, but also expanding their skills, rebuilding their courses and enriching them with brand new content. Around 44% of teachers, according to the results of the survey, expressed their willingness to contribute to a methodological seminar devoted to sharing best practices for online education.

The proportion of classes conducted using other means than video conferencing has significantly decreased since the start of remote education, with their share dropping to 1.9% for graduate programs and 2.2% for undergraduate programs.
