Model for organizing distance learning in an educational institution

   Introduction. A relevant area of informatization of education management is modeling the management of an educational institution’s activities in organizing the transition to distance learning.

   The purpose of the article is to develop and evaluate a structural and functional model of organizing the transition of an educational organization to distance learning based on a comparative analysis of foreign academic literature summarizing the experience of the emergency introduction of distance learning due to the coronavirus pandemic.

   Purpose setting. The purpose of the article is to develop and evaluate a structural and functional model for organizing the transition of an educational organization to distance learning on the basis of a comparative analysis of foreign scientific and methodological literature.

   Methodology and methods of the study. The development and evaluation of the model of the management system for the activities of an educational institution for the organization of DL included the solution of the following tasks: 1. Comparative Analysis of Foreign Academic Literature; 2. Development of a universal model for the organization of DL for educational organizations; 3. Model Quality Assessment.

   Results. A model of the management system of an educational institution for organizing distance learning has been developed. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implement, Evaluate) educational process organization model served as a prototype. The methodology for evaluating the model for organizing the transition of an educational organization to distance learning corresponded to the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) approach. The model was evaluated by surveying 44 experts with experience in organizing the educational process in a distance format. A static analysis of the opinions of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) experts showed that the proposed model demonstrates sufficient compliance with the established requirements and is suitable for its intended purpose.

   Conclusion. The developed model of the system for managing the activities of an educational institution for organizing distance learning is intended for use in educational institutions of the Russian Federation at all levels of education in the situation of assessing the preparation for the implementation of training in a fully interactive mode during emergency situations.
