Again, some of the courses are designed for students who are familiar with higher mathematics and programming at the level of a student at a technical college, but some are quite suitable for schoolchildren. We also remind that students can get credit units for a course credit in their university.

Online courses at ITMO University, starting in March:

Web application programming and development

The goal of the course is to form the basic knowledge and skills to solve the most important and frequently encountered in practice tasks of web programming in the Python programming language. After completing the course, the student will be ready to independently study other programming languages ​​and create their own web applications (we talked more about the course here ). For the successful development of the course requires knowledge of the basics of programming, HTML, Internet technologies. Course duration - 10 weeks.

Informatics for technical colleges

The goal of the course is to interest high school students and junior students in modern information technologies, to promote the development of systems thinking. The course materials contain all the necessary information about the basic principles of computer design and operation. Students will learn how to use software to solve practical problems. The necessary conditions for mastering the discipline are: knowledge of mathematics, computer science, and English at the level of the school curriculum. Course duration - 10 weeks.

Computer engineering graphics

The course is designed for professionals involved in design or project work in the field of engineering, architecture, interior design using AutoCAD. Students will learn how to customize AutoCAD to work, create drawings in AutoCAD, edit drawing objects, insert blocks, work with external links, and print ready-made drawings. The course, in addition to video lectures, includes practical tasks, tasks for independent work, tests. Course duration - 10 weeks.

Fundamentals of Management

The course is dedicated to the creation of competencies of an active participant in the organization's management process. After mastering the material, students will be able to make and execute management decisions, plan labor and production processes, and carry out formal and informal leadership in organizations. The online course uses the methods of problem and contextual learning, learning based on experience and methods of role-playing imitation of interaction between the manager and the performers. Course duration - 12 weeks.

Legal Basics of Intellectual Property

The course covers key intellectual property rights issues. It covers topics such as copyright, patent law, trademarks, domain names, and legal aspects of information security. The course includes video lectures, a video masterclass on patent law and control electronic testing on the main topics of the course. Course duration - 10 weeks.

Mobile and Converged Network Protocols

This course is a continuation of the course “ Infocommunication Protocols ” and is devoted to strategies for the development of an infocommunication environment, including a convergent NGN network and a mobile network. Students will learn the general principles of building NGN using various technologies and elements (SIP, Softswitch concept, IMS subsystem), protocols implementing IP telephony services: SIP, RTP / RTCP, MEGACO / H.248, SigTran protocol stack (M2PA, M2UA , M3UA, SUA, IUA) and the process of transmitting speech over an IP network. The prerequisites for mastering the course are: possession of modern software, ability to work with documentation. Course duration - 10 weeks.

Methods for processing navigation measurement information

The course is divided into three sections. In the first section, students will learn the basics of matrix operations and the basics of using the Scilab program, as well as elements of probability theory. The second section of the course is devoted to general principles and approaches used in solving assessment problems. And the third is a generalization of estimation algorithms as applied to the problems of estimating random sequences and processes. To cope with the tasks of the course you need to have knowledge of mathematics in the amount of the first two courses of the university. Course duration - 10 weeks.
