| Abstract [eng] |
Distance learning plays a significant role in solving the problem of the sustainable development of society. Unfortunately, the development and implementation of distance courses are still carried out intuitively, which does not allow practical implementation of effective mathematics methods and slows down the introduction of breakthrough technologies. The aim of the research was to develop a new model and a methodology for assessing the labor costs of designing distance learning courses by university teachers based on a comprehensive assessment of the courses’ quality. The suggested model originally extends the constructive cost evaluation model already used in IT industry. The developed criteria make it possible to assess labor costs in relation to the quality of course development. The paper provides and analyzes such calculations on the example of courses in the theory of algorithms and programming. |
