The article provides a possible option of how first-year students of Russian universities adapt to mastering higher mathematics. The purpose of the research is the development of methodological approaches to designing an online course that recaps school math material in a short period. The concept of individualization of educational activities is used as the main design method. Online training is used as the implementation technology. The article provides an overview of scientific papers on the use of an individual approach to learning and online resources in teaching mathematics. The social survey of first-year students confirmed the relevance of the stated purpose. The authors describe the design methodologies of the online training by taking into account age, social and psychological characteristics of students, and the opportunity for developing individual educational trajectories. The authors set the objectives of the course and structuralize each topic. Instructional content is developed in accordance with step-by-step leveling on mastering educational material. Extra attention is given toward presenting educational information in ways that take into account different types of cognitive processes. Foreign students who receive education in Russian universities are also welcomed to the online course to get familiar with the mathematical terminology in the Russian language.Acknowledgments: The authors sincerely thank the editors, the staff of the journal, and the three anonymous reviewers for helping improve the manuscript. We are grateful to all the authors whose research has been used, and hope that we managed to develop some of their ideas. In particular, the ideas concern aspects of individualization of the learning process. Conflicts of Interest:The authors declare no conflict of interest.

“…As the number of online learners rises from one year to the next (with 35 million online learners in 2015 as reported by Sunar, White, Abdullah, and Davis, 2016), attrition and dropout are a major concern among virtual universities and/or MOOC providers (e.g., Kim et al, 2017;Kizilcec and Halawa, 2015). This problem also continues to plague more traditional education providers that now offer their programmes online as well (as an extension of traditional classroom education).…”

Two key challenges in education relate to how traditional educational providers can personalise online provisions to the students' skill level, optimise the use of tools and increase both the generation and utilisation of feedback (in terms of timing, content, and subsequent use by students). The application of traditional programmes in the online setting is often complicated by the legacy of traditional universities infrastructures, knowledge bases (or lack thereof in the human-computerinteraction/HCI realm), and pedagogical priorities. It is here that HCI experts (designers and researchers) can have real-world impact in line with macro-HCI, while also being able to test new innovations in collaboration with educators (e.g., the practitioners in such education settings). In this note, we make a case that the HCI community is in a situation where it can make a significant contribution to traditional providers in two prospective areas: personalisation, feedback generation and increased feedback utilisation.Online education. Design of online learning. Customisation. Personalisation. Automated feedback.

“…However, the percentage of students' dropout is high. One also has to be very self-disciplined in order to study online [7]. Introducing freedom and flexibility to the educational process, Internet requires a responsible approach, real intrinsic motivation to study and self-discipline in terms of deadlines and requirements.…”

“…The paper [7] proposes to limit the access to and repetition of online courses in order to reduce students' dropout (on the basis of the psychological reactance theory). These measures arise sensation of control limitedness, which, according to the authors, can increase students' memory concentration and stimulate their intention of taking online courses further on and in a more detailed way.…”

Organization of Educational Process for Students of Humanitarian and Electrical Engineering Majors on Basis of Moodle Environment

The authors of the article draw attention to the relevance of the use of e-learning tools to improve the quality of student preparation, as well as they consider the specifics of pedagogical communication within the framework of the information and educational environment. The language of education changes: there is a transition from written forms to audiovisual ones. In addition to traditional actors of the educational process (a teacher and a student), the third actor appears. It is learning tools that operate on the basis of information and communication technologies. The use of elearning resources in the learning process allows to provide flexible forms of students' interaction with a teacher and educational content; to organize interactive learning, follow-up and final assessment; to facilitate the management of the educational process for a teacher. The combination of in-class and online (extramural) forms of attendance is most effective. Also, it is necessary to include a cooperative learning approach in the e-learning model. The article describes the experience of using the virtual learning environment (Moodle) in organization of the educational process in a number of subjects ("Psychology of Lying", "Ergonomics", etc.) for the students of humanitarian and electrical engineering majors.
