Academic institutions invest considerable resources in improving the website quality of their MBA courses, in the hope of increasing student retention and willingness to recommend the programs to others. Despite this investment, it seems that the old "keep it simple" rule is also true for e-learning. Data collected from students enrolled in a blended distance learning MBA program at the Open University of Israel, shows that the students were most satisfied with the simple and relatively inexpensive e-learning tools, which did not require their active participation. The paper discusses bounded rationality and attention economy as suggested theoretical explanations for this phenomenon, as well as practical implications for academic institutions and educators.

There exists nowadays an enormous variety of models of e-leaning, from the technological, methodological and management perspective. At the university level, but also in company-training, in schools and formal education institutions, the different educational models appear, moving in a continuum from those who use technology as a complement or support to traditional attended sessions, to those that base the teaching and learning process in completely online environments. They try a variety of teaching methods while using differing degrees of virtualisation in the organisation (Bates, 2005). Years ago, when ICT in education started to be widely used, the success of the e-learning experience and the institutions themselves depended on their technological means; the platform was the most important of the model adopted by e-learning institutions. Initial efforts were put in market analysis aiming at finding out which was the best platform developed by ICT providers. Major investments in economical terms were dedicated to the acquisition of what was considered “the best” platform. Some years later, it was seen that institutions were different from the rest, and that not all educational platforms could cover all their needs. They realised that the success of their educational offer could not only be based on technology but in the learning materials provided. At that moment, the industry of online resources and hypermedia materials for educational uses grew up quickly. For some years, the success of e-learning mainly depended on the quality of the online materials provided, and that distinguish one institution from others.

В статье анализируются проблемы внедрения электронного и дистанционного обучения в сельских школах России. На примере Томской области анализируется уровень и качество электронного и дистанционного обучения, выделяются основные модели их применения; предлагается проект организации единой образовательной площадки с распределенными муниципальными центрами. В тоже время у учителей недостаточно сформированы навыки организации электронного обучения, оценки качества образования средствами специальных программ, создания и использования представлений о математических объектах и процессах, конструирования объемных моделей на компьютере (с помощью 3D принтера), визуализации данных, отношений, процессов, обработки данных статистики и др. Длительные локдауны, введенные в результаты пандемии, заставили всех педагогов пересмотреть свое отношение к процессам информатизации системы образования. Остро встал вопрос не только о компетентности педагога, оказавшегося не готовым к качественному осуществлению учебного процесса с использованием современных коммуникационных возможностей, но и вопросы управления образовательным процессом, использования средств и технологий электронного обучения. The article analyzes the problems of the introduction of electronic and distance learning in rural schools in Russia. Using the example of the Tomsk region, the level and quality of electronic and distance learning are analyzed, the main models of their application are highlighted; a project for organizing a unified educational platform with distributed municipal centers is proposed. At the same time, teachers have insufficiently developed skills in organizing e-learning, evaluating the quality of education by means of special programs, creating and using representations of mathematical objects and processes, constructing three-dimensional models on a computer (using a 3D printer), visualizing data, relationships, processes, processing statistics data, etc. The long lockdowns introduced in the results of the pandemic forced all teachers to reconsider their attitude to the processes of informatization of the education system. There was an acute question not only about the competence of a teacher who was not ready for the qualitative implementation of the educational process using modern communication capabilities, but also issues of educational process management, the use of e-learning tools and technologies.

The relevance of the study under consideration is due to the need to increase the efficiency of students independent work in solving computational problems. A theoretical rationale is proposed and the practical implementation of an automated training and diagnostic system for the formation of skills to solve problems according to the “white box” model is described. The leading idea of the study is the construction of mental schemes for a given topic, which allow to visualize the dynamics of changes in the learner’s level of ability to solve computational problems. The methods of accounting for forgetting educational information and methods of personalized selection of tasks are substantiated. The site for self-management of user independent work is available at the link: http://msbx.ru. The materials of the article are of practical value for teachers who use e-learning tools in the educational process.
