The conference was organized by the National Research University Higher School of Economics and the Coursera global educational platform.
The conference participants came to the conclusion that mass online courses will become even more popular as they improve the quality and accessibility of education, but they will not cancel the traditional forms of interaction between the teacher and the student.

At the event, theses were heard that about 60-70 million people became students of mass online courses on global educational platforms in just ten years.
The conference participants cited many examples when, in their effectiveness, online learning is not inferior to traditional, and often exceeds it. Online courses are available at any time, it is an opportunity to listen to lectures of famous scientists for those who live far from intellectual centers.
Elements of digitalization in education increase student motivation. Online courses provide an opportunity to individualize the educational process, taking into account the student's behavior during study.
Stavropol State Agrarian University is doing a lot of work to embed online courses in the educational process. This does not mean ousting traditional lessons with an offline teacher; it will just be possible to devote them to solving creative tasks.
