Abstract

The objective of this work is to study the limitations and opportunities for e-learning development in the inclusive education system in higher education establishments. To determine the possibility of e-learning application in inclusive higher education, the principles of evolutionary economics and institutional theory were used. It is shown that e-learning development in the national higher education system and its perception by the higher inclusive education system depends on the development level of social and information interrelations in society. Moreover, e-learning application in inclusive higher education is possible only in collaboration with traditional learning. E-learning efficiency in inclusive higher education depends on institutional environment existing both at state level and separate university level. Herewith, institutional environment should be aimed not only at e-learning development and inclusive education, but also their collaboration. The results achieved are verified by empirical study of e-learning implementation into the inclusive higher education system by the example of Russia. The results of the conducted research, which indicated peculiarities, opportunities and limitations of an e-learning mechanism in inclusive higher education, can be applied to increase its efficiency both at separate universities level and at the level of state strategies formation for higher education development.
