LEGAL REGULATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING: STAGES, PROBLEMS, PROSPECTS
Since the legal regulation of distance learning lags behind the demands of social life, does not have sufficient scientific, pedagogical and socio-educational justification, is not adequate to the requirements of training highly qualified higher school personnel, without which sustainable development of Russia is impossible. The article presents the material of a deep and holistic study of distance learning technologies, taking into account the strategic goals of the development of Russian society and the person in it. The authors carried out a scientific, pedagogical and socio-educational analysis of the regulatory framework of modern distance education technologies and identified the main directions of their implementation, taking into account the current challenges of the development of Russian higher education. Taking into account the increased interest in the DO in connection with the total transition to distance learning in 2020 and the prospects for its further implementation, the identification of legal gaps, we believe it is interesting to analyze the subsequent development of legislation on DOT, as well as the challenges that the DO carries.
