“…Personal tutor attributes were also highlighted, such as inspirational, strong values and high standards. Although the expectations of the tutor set by participants in this study were seemingly high, high student expectations have previously been reported in both traditional and online course delivery formats (Goold et al, 2010;Krasnova & Popova, 2016;Trevena, 2003).…”

Aims and objectives This study sought to explore undergraduate nursing students’ perceptions of the role and value of their bioscience tutors in a blended learning curriculum. Background Blended learning approaches typically have reduced face‐to‐face contact with tutors—particularly in bioscience subjects which nursing students have traditionally found difficult, and the move to more web‐based learning resources may compound this difficulty. Design Qualitative descriptive study. Methods This qualitative study was conducted with 19 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in bioscience subjects, at a large university in outer metropolitan Sydney, Australia in 2016. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted over the telephone or face‐to‐face. Duration of interviews ranged from 13 to 71 min. Results were thematically analysed. EQUATOR guidelines for qualitative research (COREQ) applied. Results Two main themes with accompanying sub‐themes were identified. The first theme identified the importance of the tutor in bioscience, including their qualities, expertise and contextualisation of learning. The second theme provided insights into students’ perceptions of what they considered good and poor approaches to learning. Conclusions This study has clearly shown that while nursing students appreciated the flexibility offered by the online component of a blended learning curriculum, they still wanted an experienced bioscience tutor with clinical experience for their face‐to‐face classes. While the tutor was seen as crucial to providing clarification and context for content that was often challenging, they also played a key role in engaging and motivating students and creating a learning environment where students felt empowered to ask questions and debate issues with their peers. Given the increased use of online learning, further research could determine if the current study findings are also applicable in nonscience areas of study. Relevance to clinical practice The importance of students having a sound understanding of the biosciences for safe, effective clinical practice cannot be underestimated.

“…Thus, positive relation between students' usage of information technologies for educational purposes and their involvement in learning and interaction with lecturers has been acknowledged [2,3,4]. Another study has shown that the use of Twitter for educational purposes has a positive effect on students' learning interest and the average semester grades [5].…”

Abstract. Globalization of mining education imposes new requirements for mining engineer competence. Nowadays linguistic competence is one of the most demanded. It guarantees technical university graduates the possibility of global employment, on the one hand, and the chance of getting cutting edge education in leading training centers of the world, on the other hand. Distance education is actively developing all over the world and is widely used in technical colleges and universities, as well. Interactive method that involves active engagement of students appears to be of the greatest interest due to introduction of modern information and communication technologies for distance learning. The paper presents step-by-step implementation of several interactive technologies (jigsaw, case study, brainstorming, and role-play) that can be used in distance education in the process of teaching subjects in foreign languages with the help of information and communication technologies. In response to the changes in the conditions of educational process, the implementation of the methods has been transformed to a combination of traditional (in-class) and distance (online) learning.

The article touches upon the issue of communicative activity of student youth in the Internet and the advantages of applying modern information technologies in higher education institutions in the process of teaching the discipline "Physical Culture". Internet communication today is one of the priority ways of communication among students and undergraduate students. The authors tried to determine the main characteristics of the communicative user, the students' opinion about the role and the place of the Internet in their daily lives, a list of goals and objectives for implementation of which respondents use information technologies, as well as the motives and preferences of students -Internet users. Analysis of the data of the social survey made it possible to classify general trends in students' behavior in the network.The use of computer programs and Internet technologies, as well as training in cooperation, allow solving the tasks of activating the performance of each student in the process of training, the formation of situations for their creative activity, establishment of interpersonal relations in the network, and uniting into communities by interests.The authors suggest ways to increase the communicative activity of students in the informative space of physical culture throughout the entire period of training.
