At the beginning of this millennium, we face the challenge of globalization in different spheres of our life, including educational programmes that can be used throughout the world. Most countries of European Union have now signed the Bologna Convention. And several countries from Eastern Siberia and Asia joined them. At the annual conference Global Integration of Graduate Programmes specialists discuss problems connected with Bologna Process and share experience of solving them. A special theme this year is the Virtual University. Issues of Internet- learning, e-learning, distance learning, lifelong learning were presented by the participants. Heads and managers of international and national organizations, professors of Universities of United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, Jordan, Italy, Lebanon, Ukraine and Russia came to Baikal to participate in this conference. Questions of unification of graduate programmes in terms of Bologna Process were actively discussed on plenary sessions chaired by General Secretary of of Magna Charta Observatory Professor A. Barblan (Italy). Conference Chairman Professor A. Moscardini (United kingdom) and Deputy Minister of Education and Science Professor M.F. Stepko (Ukraine) deeply analyzed problems connected with adaptation of existing national educational programs to international quality standards. Speeches of Professor G.S. Kurganskaya (Russia) and Professor A. Marengo (Italy) initiated hot discussion concerning problems of creation of Virtual University based on Internet Technologies. Demonstration of new methods of education by the example of systems of internet education of Russia (Hecadem), USA (WebTycho) and Australia (WebCT) that followed afterwards created a theme for new discussion. During the conference work tripartite agreement (Italy - Ukraine - Russia) about international collaboration was signed. Thus, another step was done on the way to accomplishment of Bologna Convention regulations. |
