This range allows you to create a blended courses with classroom predominant component (30%-50%) and remote (50%-79%). Overview blended learning model, considered foreign researchers and proposed models that can be integrated into traditional educational process of higher education, to organize lectures rotary model «Flipped-Classroom» and model of «Self-blend»; to organize practical training model «Station Rotation»; Magistrate model for «Online Driver». A perspective direction in the study of blended learning, study and analysis methods for e-learning capabilities of social networking, cloud computing, mass public courses and develop methods for their use in the educational process.
