This report analyses student feedback from a web-blended pilot class in the foreign languages teacher education program at Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University to identify factors that contributed toward student engagement and learning. The class used Skype technology to present guest lecture/discussion sessions hosted by international speakers. A free Google Educational Application was used to provide access to instructional materials and conduct biweekly asynchronous forums moderated by local and guest faculty. Student feedback indicated increased engagement and interest in course content through ease of access, flexibility in scheduling, and exposure to varied perspectives. Students also noted issues with reliability of internet service, message load and time management, and made recommendations for improvementItem Educational Technologies for Maturing Democratic Approaches to Pedagogical Practices in Ukraine(Procedia – Social & Behavioral Sciences, 2015) Кузьміна, С.

North American Chapter Journal of Interdisciplinary Education, 2016) Кузьміна, С. А.; Кузьмина, С. А.; Kuzmina, S. A.; Пауел, Д.; Пауэл, Д.; Powell, D.; Цвік, C.; Цвик, С.; Cwick, S.; Халід, T.; Халид, T.; Khalid, T.; Софо, С.; Sofo, S.Education is a democratizing catalyst that enhances choice, individual welfare, and productivity by increasing access and equity of opportunity. However, there are significant challenges to democratization of education, particularly in emerging countries. Superficial changes have not eliminated corruption, poor educational quality, or excessive administrative control. Lack of government support and transparency, conflicting goals, and educational and socio-political ideologies further limit progress toward truly democratic ideals. New styles of education management are needed to flatten governance structures, open access to programs and resources, enhance earning relationships, and empower students to direct their own learning
