Preprint – ORGANISATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING IN AN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: ONLINE COURSE «SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE» (English version), August 2021
The article gives a short overview of theories on didactics and distance learning used in the framework of an online course in English, given by a senior lecturer from the Netherlands (HAN) to students of the faculty of Economics of Chelyabinsk State University (CSU), to let students get experience in distance learning in an international educational environment and acquire knowledge on the topic Supply Chain Finance (SCF). The teaching material of the course was represented by six lectures recorded by J. Jansen and available online (www.principlesofsupplychainfinance.nl/scf-course/). Combination of the recorded lectures and interactive online seminars for discussion of home assignments allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the topic SCF. Finally, the course was finished with an individual online oral exam. Students and teaching staff of CSU evaluated this extra-curricular course. This pilot of distance learning will be developed into a course of a master programme at the faculty of Economics of CSU. The educational theories of Biggs, Bloom, Hattie, Garrison, Vaughan, Klabbers, Sousa and Kolb were applied to provide students with the best modern experience of distance learning.
