Valery Stolyar, Head of Training Center, Scientific Clinical Center of the Russian Railways, spoke about the advantages of telemedicine technologies for distant learning. He pointed out that they entail substantial savings for clinics and allow to deliver lectures for several regions at once. Other benefits of these technologies include the possibility to broadcast unique diagnostic techniques and surgeries as part of telelecturing, interactivity of teleducation and the possibility to organize training on the job and combine lectures and clinical discussions. Another speaker, Dmitry Kulikov, Acting Minister of Education of Tver region, mentioned that informatization of the education system is currently transitioning from isolated computerization to e-pedagogics, which is essentially a combination of learning, describing and forecasting educational processes in ICT-rich environments.

She delivered an overview of global standards and strategies in eHealth. According to Tatiana Zarubina, all branches of the national healthcare system must be shifted to the next IT level, which is eHealth – an assembly of distributed medical databases on specific people, which enables remote interactive medical consultations for patients.
In turn, Natalya Tikhomirova, Rector of the Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI), outlined the specifics of distant learning in Russia’s system of continuous education. According to MESI’s forecast, in the next 10 years higher education providers will be forced to drastically change their model, primarily as a result of the shift in the technology paradigm and exploration of new opportunities by global leaders of the education market. 2017 – 2025 will be a transitional period, when new global practices will also be introduced in Russia.
