About the institute
The Institute of Open Education Technologies is an educational department of the Ural Federal University (UrFU), specializing in the implementation of higher education programs using online and distance learning technologies, as well as the implementation of educational programs in an accelerated time frame for graduates of colleges.
The Institute has been providing education since the late 90s of the last century and actually stood at the origins of the development of distance learning technologies in their modern shape.
Ural Federal University has a vast experience in the use of distance learning and online technologies and can be proud of the fact that distance learning at UrFU appeared even before the invention of the Internet.
So, in far 1967 at the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI) current UrFU a special television center was created. It was engaged in recording teachers’ lectures for correspondence students. These lectures were broadcast on the Channel 2 by Sverdlovsk Television and radio company three times a week.
The educational materials developed by the TV center were used in teaching not only students of the Sverdlovsk region, but also students who actively participated in the famous BAM’s building. And these technologies were successfully used until the early 80s.
In the late 90s, with the advent and spreading of the Internet, a special faculty - the Faculty of Distance Learning - was created at our University. The Faculty was engaged in the development of distance learning technologies in more modern and familiar form.
The term Distance learning itself has also undergone a certain transformation over time: the terms “e-learning”, “online learning”, and “open learning” have appeared.
With the development of technology our faculty has been also developing, and, finally it has evolved into the Institute of Open Education Technologies.
And today, the Institute of Open Education Technologies applies the full range of the most advanced teaching technologies, which allows students, who do not have the opportunity to visit the university campus regularly, to receive a high-quality education.
