Digitizing education: integrating blended learning into academic programs

the article examines the digital shift in Russian schooling and the rollout of blended formats under the national ‘Education’ project and the ‘Digital Economy of the Russian Federation’ agenda through 2030. It charts the EdTech trajectory–from radio and television broadcasts to personal computers, AI and VR–highlighting their impact on didactics and adaptive learning. Domestic experience with the Russian Electronic School, Moscow Electronic School and SberKlass portals is reviewed, alongside four dominant blended schemes: flipped classroom, station rotation, flex model and the IT infrastructure sustaining them. The study reveals how hybrid approaches can widen equitable access, yet also identifies infrastructural and pedagogical hurdles that must be addressed to secure the full-scale digitalization of the educational sphere.
