Distant education courses

The Power Supply Department of the Power Engineering Faculty at Yakutsk State University has been organizing distant educational courses for engineering and special disciplines which have the hypertext structure and can be installed in a Web server. The distant courses can be used not only for distant teaching but also as reference for internal students. The courses can generate interest in study and make the teaching process more active as well as improve the student´s cognitive activity. They also ensure objectivity in estimating and self-evaluating student´s knowledge level and improve the computer skills of the operator. Distant courses can be used not only by the students of higher educational institutions but also in educational centers of enterprises of power engineering, and can be useful for workers engaged in exploitation and design of objects in power engineering.
