Electronic interaction in this academic year has become firmly embedded in the lives of students and teachers of the Volga Academy. So sports managers did not want to sacrifice any of the items in the usual rich program of their traditional holiday – the day of the sports Manager-to the coronavirus. The children did not deprive themselves of the pleasure of fun and creative summing up the school year. The holiday was held in the form of an online conference codenamed "Remote path". The organizing Committee, headed by the curator of the project – associate Professor of the Department of sports management, recreation and sports and recreation tourism Marina Savosina, had to combine five virtual platforms for all points of the event program.
The sports part, consisting of virtual chess and football tournaments, were held according to preliminary applications and finished at about the same time. President of the RT chess Federation Gennady Zakharov took part in the opening of the chess tournament in absentia, and football allowed students to master a new cyber platform. Comments added drive and presence to sports tournaments. Three speakers-translator and teacher of Turkish language courses Tagir Nasibullin, head of the Green Fitness project Murat Dimitrov and head of the selection Department of the Akbars hockey club Marat Valiullin responded to the invitation of students and shared their secrets of professional activity. The cultural part of the program included a quiz with the participation of part-time teams and graduates of the Department of sports management, as well as a competition "improvisational recitative", which was held by rapper Artem Azarov.
"I am glad that the need to work in the digital field did not take them by surprise," comments Marina Savosina. - Of course, online training helped. For me, it was a pleasant discovery that the third-year students (group 7215) worked as an independent and very close-knit team. Alena Bakirova proved to be a real leader who managed to unite and coordinate the actions of all participants. The sophomores were responsible for the competition program, and this was also a special moment of learning for them, especially cyber football, which we tested on its platform. I was also pleased that our students do not just sit online, they learn a lot of necessary and important skills: copyright, photoshop, video editing, design. In total, all this gave interesting content. I am happy, first of all, that they showed their managerial skills. On the "debriefing" I said that everything turned out well in most cases, but in some places it was just wonderful. And the content and design, and a wide variety of platforms. Even the chatbot worked for us. The guys opened up for me from an unexpected side…
- The most difficult thing for me was the coordination of all participants, - says the head of the organizing Committee, third-year student Alyona Bakirova. We were all far apart, even in different time zones… But the guys showed maximum dedication in preparation, received skills on the go, mastered the work of programs and platforms. And on the day of the event itself, you had to do everything on time - post ads, send SMS messages, send links… We will definitely remember these brainstorming sessions in Zoom and their result-the mascot of the day. After all, in the end, in addition to the grandiose fatigue, we also got a huge pleasure from the work done!
