The key advantages of the program

Individual learning path

Together with partner organizations, we form a scientific and educational track for each student in accordance with their level of training and interests, which allows them to focus on practical work as much as possible and gain the necessary knowledge in disciplines to increase expertise in the field of creating an educational product. A great advantage is the program’s focus on the pedagogical design of training courses and materials: students study the basis for creating any educational product (lesson, intensive, long-term course), explore different approaches to learning, including working with students with special needs, develop an assessment system according to international standards and choose key digital tools for the implementation of their projects. Students also learn how to promote educational products in an online environment. Upon completion of the program, the graduate is a broad specialist, who has the competencies of a teacher, methodologist, designer and marketer.

Eclectic Approach

The program combines flipped classroom and guided discovery with blended learning application.

It aims at developing hard and soft skills like 4Cs (communication, cooperation, creativity and critical thinking).

The system of supervision and support of students

Students always have an opportunity to get individual consultation, where they can get practical advice for their projects and psychological support.

Building a portfolio from scratch

A practice-oriented approach in teaching allows students to gain knowledge through the development of their own projects based on NUST MISIS. Starting from the first days of studies, students determine the subject of their online course and its target audience, conduct the market research, choose approaches and create the sequence of activities. At the end of the program, students design an online course in English, which can be launched both in the Russian environment and internationally. Since the courses are initially prepared under the order of partner companies of the university, the probability of employment right after graduation is very high. The experience of creating a real online course is an excellent addition to the graduate’s portfolio.

Cross-cultural community of students

The English-language program brings together students from different countries, which makes it possible to form cross-cultural project groups and unite students with different professional experience. The principle of mutual learning and working on joint tasks contribute to the development of new ideas and creative projects, and a high level of English language skills motivates students to get out of their comfort zone.
