Content Distribution in Education Support Software

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of modern information technologies to complement communication between educational institutions and students. Communication is important for development and improvement of the quality of the education system. In place of direct communication, educational institutions sometimes need to make additional educational materials available to students. Information technologies play an important role in distribution of these materials. Students have access to personalised and relevant information at any time, as well as many ways and opportunities to clarify any doubt in a quick, easy and efficient way. This paper explains multiple applications of the educational content distribution. It includes reviews of different web-based services, such as a video distribution platform, a portal designed for scientific research and an application for the Android operating system for delivery of different kinds of content of interest to higher education students.
