Distance learning plays a significant role in solving the problem of the sustainable development of society. Unfortunately, the development and implementation of distance courses are still carried out intuitively, which does not allow practical implementation of effective mathematics methods and slows down the introduction of breakthrough technologies. The aim of the research was to develop a new model and a methodology for assessing the labor costs of designing distance learning courses by university teachers based on a comprehensive assessment of the courses’ quality. The suggested model originally extends the constructive cost evaluation model already used in IT industry. The developed criteria make it possible to assess labor costs in relation to the quality of course development. The paper provides and analyzes such calculations on the example of courses in the theory of algorithms and programming.

The article considers the possible concepts of the university of the near future considering the real emergence of special artificial intelligence applicable in the field of higher education. The authors propose a new university model (5th generation university) based on rethinking the use of the concept of competence and applied results in the field of cognitive sciences. It is proposed to revise the existing classical set of professional and social competencies, which will consider the redistribution of responsibilities in society between a person and intellectual systems. The technical readiness of society is assessed to significantly expand the scope of the use of IT technologies and free up human resources for creative activity.
