Abstract

This paper analyzes an approach to the realization of the blended learning technology with the use of a basic online course to integrate modern smart pedagogy in higher schools. A basic online course on discrete mathematics has been designed for bachelors of the intramural form of study at ITMO University. The Remote Laboratory Control Protocol (RLCP)-compatible virtual laboratory technology for MOOC’s “Methods and algorithms of graph theory” has been modified and improved. It allows using virtual stands for practical tasks in the training mode. The article outlines the results of experimental research that proves the effectiveness of the blended learning technology with the use of a basic online course. The average number of attempts to solve problems has reduced by 45% in comparison with that of the students who completed the MOOC; the progress assessment results have increased by 18.8% in comparison with the traditional learning format. Tolls among students show their satisfaction with the blended learning technology using a basic online course (almost 80%).
