The Intensification of the Education on Telecommunications Using MOOC-platforms

Network technology is one of the most rapidly developing areas in computer science. Accordingly, the level of requirements to a specialist in this area is constantly increasing, which in turn requires more time for training specialists in this field. At the same time, basic university courses in this area tend to be rather static and often do not reflect the new technological and scientific advances in this field. Considering shortage of time resources, it requires new forms of training students that intensify the process of training in the networking and telecommunications. One way to implement this process might be through usage of MOOC-platforms that provide students with access to high quality educational content. This article describes an example of such approach in the practice of Russian higher education and its evaluation.
