Victoria Nechayeva shared her impressions:
“I was pleasantly surprised at the level of event organization, its large scale and efficiency. I managed to get acquainted with my colleagues from Ural Federal University engaged in development of online education and Open Education national platform and work with them. I have learned about trends in education and academic mobility online. I also liked the opportunity to take an online course, which would be acknowledged in your university (it will be included in the diploma supplement). I would like to express my gratitude to the Joint Student Council and the Department for Educational and Extracurricular Work for providing me with an opportunity to participate in the conference.”
