    Ural Regional Center of Informatization (URCI) leading division of the University in the field of computer, network and information technologies, including Distance Education technologies.

    The Center staff consists of 26 persons: programmers, mathematicians, engineers and operators. Ten experts (graduated from Urals Universities) have more than 10-years experience of work in the field of computer-information and computing systems. Two of them has scientific degree "Candidate Of Physical-And Mathematical Sciences".

    URCI has own a network system of 140 computers, manage operation and development of the university backbone, provides support and development of the base information services.

    URCI is the developer and responsible executor of the basic projects, carried out by Urals State University, in the field of computer networks and data transfer.


    Telecommunications

    The USU has a University Computer Network with more than 600 computers that link all the departments of the USU via fiber optic channels. The network provides e-mail service, a WWW server and enables direct access to Internet for all users.

    The Urals State University is the official node of the Russian University Network (RUNnet) in the Urals. RUNnet links the largest Russian universities via high speed satellite channels and has direct access to international networks (the bandwidth of the USU's channels is now 256 Kbit/sec, and it will probably be increased to 2Mbit/sec in the near future).

    The regional government plans to make the USU the center of the Regional Educational Network. This program started in summer 1995 and linked Ekaterinburg's 13 universities via speed data transmission channels.


    Distance Education

    The university's Distance Education Technol-ogy Center (DETC) began its activity in 1995 as part of the university's development program. Our goals are to design and implement new information technologies at all levels of education; to extend university education to a wider audience; to accelerate the integration of the USU into the worldwide educational, scientific, and cultural system.

    DETC main activities:
  • Organising and providing the USU students with Electronic Distance Education (EDE) courses from European and American universities
  • Developing and designing EDE courses for foreign students and students from other Russian universities. The USU can develop courses on all aspects of the Urals Region (history, culture, business, economy, local market, etc.), and on Russian as a foreign language, archaeology, biology and many other fields
  • Research in the use of new technologies (audio- and video-conferencing, multime-dia, CD-ROM, telecommunications) in distance education
  • Research and development on EDE course organization and methodology
  • EDE learning for specialists and business-persons who want to continue their educa-tion. EDE services for non-university organizations and individuals are available on a commercial basis
  • Creation of a database for electronic study courses (videocassettes, electronic books and textbooks, study software, etc.)
  • Organization of conferences and seminars on distance education in the Urals. Provision of informational and methodological service on EDE



  • Proposals for Cooperation
  • USU already has the technical base for EDE courses and does not need any additional financial support for the first stage of cooperation. Any cooperative programs aimed at learning via e-mail and hypertext on-line services can be achieved successfully. If any university or other organisation wishes to offer an EDE course or a series of courses at USU, please send us a description of the courses
  • The tuition fee includes living accommodation if a foreign student lives in the university dormitory. For food-supplying the University has some cafeterias, student-canteen and bars. Students can do the shopping and cook their own meals that is possible with the facilities provided in the dormitories. We are interested in the exchange of EDE courses. If you have used or evaluated the use of Russian EDE courses, we would appreciate your comments and advice
  • We would like to participate in joint research and cooperative projects on the use of new information technologies for EDE, research and future development of the EDE courses using video & audio-conferencing via Internet and via TV channels. USU is the ultimate partner for this activity in the Urals region, because of its satellite communications and high-speed channels
  • USU is interested in cooperative efforts in EDE, which enable Russian students to obtain foreign higher education diplomas and foreign students to obtain Russian higher education diplomas. To begin this process, it is necessary to compare academic programs and negotiate reciprocal agreements in matters of courses, evaluation, diplomas and certificates


  • Dear colleagues!

    We welcome cooperative projects connected with the EDE system.
    We invite you to collaborate with us.
    We will be glad to hear about your experiences, to share ours, and to start joint research projects and joint grant applications in the field of EDE.


    Thank You.
