Taking into account modern trend of continuous education, authors as well suppose the existence of permanent wellbeing state. This statement is partially proven by social surveys and research's data, which has been conducted in Russia, Brazil, South Africa and other countries. Attractiveness and accessibility of education for people from different social groups determine the future level of public education.

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of case studies on the effectiveness of the educational process, namely, on academic performance and the entrepreneurial success of students of economic universities. The study involved 143 fifth-year economics students studying at Moscow universities. The study participants were divided into two groups: the focus group of 73 students actively using case studies, and the comparison group of 70 participants that did not apply the method. The study period was 12 months long. The total percentage of employed students (both groups) turned out to be rather high: more than 70% of graduates started official labor activities. The use of business cases contributes to a greater demand for graduates in the labor market. The results indicate a significant correlation between the methodology under study and entrepreneurial success that manifests itself in starting one's own business demonstrating high values of χ2 = 9.970 and 8.715 (Yates' correction), p <0.05. The use of case studies in economic universities in Russia has proved a complete success in the career development of graduates in an entrepreneurial environment. The broader introduction of the method is justified and will contribute to the quality of entrepreneurship education.
The paper describes the preconditions and specifics of electronic learning resources in Russian universities and focuses on the priorities in the development of electronic education. As it is revealed, there are certain problems with employing electronic resources in mixed forms of learning, i.e. when such resources are only a part of the educational process, not a complete substitute. The paper explores the advantages and shortcomings of electronic learning in full-time instruction basing on the outcomes of a survey for students and teachers carried out in one the Russian universities. These outcomes help to assess the effectiveness of electronic learning and further perspectives of mixed forms of instruction. The paper finally provides some recommendations on how to increase the effectiveness of electronic learning by means of its integration with traditional technologies in education.
