History

Since the Internet has become an integral part of our life, new technologies are being introduced in various spheres of our life, repeated attempts have been made to integrate distance learning technologies into the educational process.

In the spring of 2003, the MGSU Academic Council decided to promote extramural educational programs implementation in the regions of the Russian Federation. As time has shown, it was an important step for the future formation of distance education and increasing availability of higher education in MGSU.

In this same year, a Center for international and regional innovative educational programs in MGSU, and the first University representative in the city of Nizhnevartovsk were created. Over time, the number of MGSU representative offices has been growing (they appeared in Surgut, Stavropol, Novorossiysk, Ufa, Petrozavodsk, Smolensk, Mineralnye Vody, Murmansk, etc.)

Later, the Center was reorganized into the Institute of Distance and Secondary Vocational Education. The Institute carried out significant work to support and develop secondary vocational education. Its activity resulted in the emerging of a new MGSU branch in the city Samara – the College of Civil Engineering and Entrepreneurship.

By 2008, distance technologies in Russia had been introduced into the educational process. Those technologies began to be used in the teaching process of MGSU extramural programs students. Technologies made it possible to simplify the interaction between teachers and students, the learning process became more convenient and accessible.

Eventually, the successes achieved in the development of distance education contributed to the fact that in 2012 the Institute of Distance and Secondary Vocational Education was renamed into the Institute of Distance Education.

Today the methods of organizing distance education are changing, new technologies are emerging, which meets the needs of modern society in continuing education. The fact that people are eager to get a degree plays one of the most crucial roles in the development of distance education. The demand for highly qualified specialists and commitment to professional development, leads to the demand for high-quality and affordable education. That’s when distance education comes to the rescue.

Distance education has become a very popular form of acquiring knowledge due to its convenience and flexibility. It allows busy people to remove the main education barrier, which is the need to attend classes according to a set schedule.

Thanks to the responsiveness and indifference of students, our educational portal is being systematically upgraded, improving the learning process in accordance with the requests of the present time.
