THE CURRENT STATE OF E-LEARNING, FUTURE TREND, WAYS TO MAKE IT SOPHISTICATED AND PERFECT, ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Each country has its own educational system that depends on many factors such as language, culture, stage of development, demographics, and geographic location. These education systems have evolved and developed in accordance with the country’s features and, thus, each country has its own unique educational system, though most countries share commonalities directly copied or slightly modified from each other. In the current globalized world, countries exchange experiences and collaborate on research to find better and more sophisticated education systems and implement the most effective ones. Today, people can travel anywhere around the world and, therefore, it is important to follow international teaching norms, creating the opportunity for people to participate in any training regardless of place, time, or distance. With the demands of the current developmental stage of society wherein artificial intelligence, electronic environment, and the fourth and even fifth industrial revolution prevail, it is essential to reconsider even long-held teaching strategies to match the demands of a rapidly changing present and swiftly approaching future. In recent years, much has been made about various learning methods such as distance learning, online learning, and e-learning. In some cases, we began the initial stages of testing and introducing these new strategies but could only go so far without clear rules and regulations. But the world did not wait. It has been almost two years since the outbreak of the global pandemic, when all countries were forced to stop or reduce traditional classroom teaching and made to implement different forms of teaching such as electronic, distance, and telelearning, not only for elementary and high school students, but even for college and university students! However, it is evident that there are differences in the methods and quality of education, in learning, in grading, in attendance and participation of students, in the ability to learn independently, and in attitudes and evaluations of parents and the public. There are both good and bad aspects to e-learning. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the state of e-learning implemented at Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) and make recommendations.
