Uman National University expands the implementation of distance learning within the DEFEP project
Uman National University continues to actively implement modern approaches to the organization of the educational process, responding to the challenges of time and the needs of higher education students.
Since 2024, the university has been successfully implementing the DEFEP project (Distance Education for Future: best EU practices in response to the requests of modern higher education seekers and labor market), which aims to adapt the best practices of distance education in the European Union to Ukrainian realities.
The pilot educational program implemented under the DEFEP project was the second (master’s) level study program “Social Security Economics” in the specialty 232 “Social Security”. Thanks to the integration of innovative digital solutions, in particular the use of the Moodle platform, an effective and accessible educational environment has been created that provides an opportunity to receive quality education regardless of the students’ location.
Given the positive experience and results of the pilot phase, the Academic Council of the University decided to expand the practice of distance learning to a number of other educational programs. From now on, distance learning is available in the following specialties:
Expanding distance education at the university is an important step towards creating an open and inclusive educational environment. This allows students to combine their studies with professional activities while maintaining high quality education.
