Distance learning and the using of distance learning technologies is actual issue not only in institutions of higher education but also in  secondary and vocational education institutions.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine together with the EdEra online education studio with the support of Switzerland within  Swiss-Ukrainian project DECIDE ("Decentralization for the Development of Democratic Education"), implemented by a consortium of NGO DOCCU ("Development of Civic Competences in Ukraine") and Zurich Pedagogical University have developed two excellent courses for teachers that will answer the following questions:

• What services and tools to choose for work?
• How to organize group work using distance learning technologies?
• How can a teacher evaluate students and monitor the activity of each of them?
• What blended learning models can be used?
• How to establish effective interaction of all participants in the educational process?
• How to ensure communication?
• What are the requirements for opening schools in 2020-2021?

Marharyta Nikiforova, the leading specialist of the e-learning laboratory of the Institute for Innovative Educational Technologies, has successfully completed two courses and she was awarded of the certificates.

We recommend these courses to everyone who wants to update their knowledge in the field of distance and blended learning.
