Development of a management system for educational projects in the context of distance education

Abstract

In 1975 A. D. Ursul introduced the concept of information explosion to denote a constant increase in the speed and volume of information on the planetary scale. The information crisis was consequence of this explosion-a decrease in the efficiency of information use, when the existing methods of searching, collecting, processing, storing information do not allow to use all its enormous potential. Scientists who do not have time to keep track of recent publications in their specialization were the first who faced this problem. But now this problem has captured almost all types of human activity. In education, this has led to the introduction of new technologies. The distance learning one of them. By creating new opportunities for access to information, this form also creates new problems. The design and transmission of the theoretical block is simplified, but the organization of practical classes and the passage of all types of practices requires the creation of new methods of interaction between students and teachers. The decrease in the number and intensity of personal contacts in distance learning makes it problematic to form many types of competencies that require direct participation in activities. The article is devoted to one of the ways to solve this problem-the use of tools and methods of project management and solving problems in the organization of distance education. It analyzes both existing experience and proposes tools from the field of project management and quality management that have not been previously used in education.
