Description
Summary:Being commonly used worldwide, e-learning courses are only starting to evolve in regional Russian universities. Unlike the most Moodle-using colleagues, the authors created mathematical modeling e-course with not so well-known in Russia learning management system Cocalc. The biggest advantage of Cocalc is the ability to write and compile program code inside, with a lot of programming languages supported. Using statistical methods, the authors assessed the results of the course implementation, revealing that students began to perform tasks faster, learned to program fluently in R and Latex and increased their English level knowledge.
