| Summary: | Title screen A transition to new educational standards of higher education predetermines the necessity of changing approaches to the search for forms of organization of the education process. One of the most effective forms of the education management for training future specialists is Blended Learning, which combines internet and digital media opportunities with traditional learning. The purpose of this work is to study the advantages and disadvantages of using blended learning in the education process of a technical university. Blended learning is a learning process based on a combination of traditional training and activities in an electronic educational environment using elements of asynchronous and synchronous distance learning. Technologically, the implementation of e-learning is fulfilled primarily with the help of an LMS (a special software learning shell), which integrates teaching and organizational functions of the education process. It can be represented by different software shells used by a university. For example, Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is used at Tomsk Polytechnic University. It is a free web application that provides the opportunity to create e-learning sites. It also makes it possible to follow task execution and assess tasks, use ICT tools in the classroom to conduct assessment and tests, and facilitate groupwork. Let us consider the advantages and disadvantages of blended learning at the university in detail by the example of Tomsk Polytechnic University, hereinafter referred to as TPU. Strategy for the development of e-learning at TPU implies the provision of up to 80% of educational disciplines by electronic courses supporting different models of e-learning: web-based training, blended learning, online learning.
