Feedback
Thank you to the organizers and speakers for an informative course on distance learning methods and platforms. I especially liked Dmitry Cherkasov’s presentation, his creative approach and advanced teaching methods with posts and Challenges on Instagram and other social networks. Now I will be more confident, making videos turns out to be not so difficult, and it is even possible to engage students and develop their creativity during the course.
Information given by the speakers was very beneficial.
Very glad to participate in the work of the seminar. Gratitude to the specialists who organized the work. Participating in the seminar, I realized that in addition to theoretical knowledge of the discipline, it is still necessary to improve my knowledge on presentation, transfer of knowledge in a new format, on the use of CBR in general. The range of information provided by you is very wide. One should master it and learn it thoroughly. Very well explained in Kazakh language.
The course was planned competently, emphasized the necessary things in distance learning and in general how to “live” in the digital environment, speakers, moderators and tutors explained complex issues in detail, and responded immediately to questions, that is, feedback is provided in full.
