ABSTRACT
The experience of remote learning during the pandemic COVID-19 significantly accelerated the process of digitalisation of the higher education in Russia and intensified preparations for the transition to a model of the Digital University. However, even those educational institutions that successfully applied remote technologies in the educational process faced the problem of effectively managing the entire remote learning system. The aim of the study is to identify the management potential of remote learning at universities in Russia from the point of view of the methodology of active management systems. Models of the remote learning system in institutions of higher education relevant for different stages of development have been created;recommendations are made to integrate the proposed models into the Digital University model. Research results contribute to the development of the theory and practice of active management systems in terms of modelling remote learning in institutions of higher education.

ABSTRACT
Economic integration is one of the key trends in the modern economy. The undisputed leader of this process is the European Union (EU). The COVID-19 pandemic led to some instability in the EU. Brexit exacerbated this instability. Under these conditions, the question arises: is the impact of COVID-19 on European integration a one-time shock that will soon lose its significance, or are more fundamental reasons at the heart of the disintegration potential. The study aims to evaluate the risks of integration processes in the EU. Two indicators were used to quantify the degree of convergence: β-convergence and σ-convergence. A quantitative analysis of convergence showed a high degree of convergence of countries in terms of per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and a lack of convergence in terms of labor productivity. Consumption in countries with catch-up development comes primarily from the redistribution of the EU budget and the wages of migrants. This redistribution weakens integration incentives for donor countries. And restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic weaken incentives for integration for recipient countries. Therefore, the likelihood of disintegration in the EU is increasing. © 2021,International Journal of Technology.All Rights Reserved
