Distance Education in Russia

In today’s world distance education is very popular with the Russian students. All the major universities in Russia have introduced distance-learning programs for students. The system and its acceptability have revolutionized the progress of study.

Distance learning saves time and a student can be sitting at home or at their workplace. It also saves money as the student does not have to purchase textbooks, but can access all materials online. The course fee is much less than traditional study and attending classes at university.

A student who has enrolled for distance learning is entitled to access all of the study materials on the server. The study material includes lectures, references, assignments and training tests. Throughout the academic year the student works through the study materials and can consult a teacher.

The student can be located anywhere. All he or she needs is a computer and an Internet connection. They can sit at home or at work and study.
