Abstract

An approach to the development of modern process of distance learning in the higher education requires application of modern tools and technologies. It is a known fact that distance learning is mainly online and has become a synonym of a technological progress and globalization development. However, a long time experience of working with distance students and gained feedback during a communication process made it necessary to discuss a statement: modern distance and online education must become more communicative and flexible, ensuring fast connectivity, a possibility to assess students' needs and individual approach.

The theoretical framework of the article includes the analysis of an increasing role of the communication process in the distance education. A method of application of learning solutions based on the experience realms model in order to improve student's retention for distance learning is considered as a tool in an order to retain a distant student. The study consists of the introductory part, where main prerequisites for the application of modern technological solutions in order to retain a student are given, and theoretical part where postulates of Experience Economy are analyzed and present researches related to the topic are over viewed. Methodological part is presented with an observation of existing communication tools for distance learning and methods of its application in order to retain students' attention during the process of distance learning; conclusions where main findings are summarized and proposals of offered methods and technological solutions in order to retain a student for distance learning are given.
