The digitalization of the educational process helps save money! but HSE University doesn’t aim to replace its lecturers’ courses with online courses! Yaroslav Kuzminov emphasized. On the contrary! it aims to save time and effort: lecturers can deliver short lecture courses on the basis of online courses especially for those students who not only passed the exam! but are interested in the topic. Such students may account for only 20 or 30% of the total student body! but working with them will take on a new form. This will improve the quality of education and allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they are interested in. ‘HSE University has always been known for the high demands it places on its students’! Yaroslav Kuzminov said.
