Abstract

Distance education has been lately very popular abroad. It is necessary to look through somespecial aspects of lessons construction in blended learning abroad. Many discussions took place abroad about different barriers in distant education. A low degree of communication is part of most barriers to distance education. Communication improvement in distance education greatly depends on capability to manage strategically one’s learning and other people’s learning. Teachers use more and more new information and communication technologies joined with computer supported collaborative learning. Some foreign researchers in their work use the terms “self-regulated learning”, “socially shared regulation of learning”, “computer supported collaborative learning”, which illustrate technological activity in the process of distant learning. Because of such education, students form vitally important skills based in such key competencies as critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, communication, collaboration, creativity, analytical and inter-cultural skills.
