Аннотация: 
В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с онлайн-обучением, основы 
его организации и основные виды подобного рода обучения. Исследование основано на 
выявлении достоинств и недостатков онлайн-образования, его важности при приобретении 
обучаемым системы умений и знаний, которые формируются в соответствии с утвержденной 
в установленной порядке программой обучения, моделью специалиста и госзаказом.
Ключевые слова:
онлайн-образование, электронное обучение, дистанционное 
образование, интернет-технологии, модульность, асинхронность.
In the 21st century, interactive cooperation with students through information communication 
networks is promising, from which the environment of Internet users is massively distinguished. The 
most common way, which has all the necessary features for the comprehensive development of youth 
learning, is online learning. 
Online education (online learning) is the acquisition of knowledge and skills using a computer 
or another gadget connected to the Internet in the “here and now” mode. Identically, this learning 
format is called “e-learning” and can be considered a logical continuation of distance learning. The 
word “online” only indicates the way of acquiring knowledge and communication of the teacher with 
the student.
The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the fact that many governments around the 
world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the 
COVID-19 pandemic. These nationwide closures are impacting over 60% of the world’s student 
population. Because of this problem, our state, like many other countries, has switched to distance 
learning. Students of schools, institutions, universities are conducted online lessons, due to which 
they continue acquiring knowledge without leaving home.
The principles based on which distance education systems are created: 
1) Availability of training. With a chronic lack of time, you need to learn more and more. The 
learning process in online education can start and end when you want, at any time.
2) Radically new forms of presentation and organization of information. Multimedia systems, 
non-linear forms of information presentation, the presence of a large amount of reference information.
3) Reliability of knowledge certification. Extensive use of test-based knowledge assessment tech
-
niques.
Educational institutions offering distance education programs can be divided into three categories:
1. “Natural” distance universities. For example, in the USA, there are not too many such educa-
tional institutions offering programs of study for bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Decent educational

institutions have the necessary accreditation. At the same time, there are also non-accredited programs, 
so it is important to find out what kind of accreditation a particular program you are interested in has.
2. Providers of corporate training and /or professional development courses. These organizations 
provide training, certification programs, and other curriculums designed to develop any professional 
skills. These are, as a rule, syllabuses formed according to the individual requirements of clients. 
Thus, this type of educational institution offers programs that are very different in quality.
3. Traditional universities offering online education. Many traditional universities and colleges 
have recently begun to offer their programs online, so expanding the range of study programs offered. 
Unfortunately, very few traditional universities and colleges offer complete and holistic online op-
tions for their programs.
Online education is the interaction of a teacher and students with each other at a distance, reflect
-
ing all the components inherent in the educational process (goals, content, methods, organizational 
forms, teaching aids) and implemented by specific means of Internet technologies or other means 
providing interactivity. For this reason, it should be noted that online learning has the following major 
advantages:
 
flexibility - students generally do not attend regular classes in the form of lectures or seminars. 
Everyone can study as much as he or she needs to master the course, discipline, and obtain the neces-
sary knowledge for the chosen specialties;
 
modularity - the basis of distance education programs is a modular principle. Each discipline 
or a series of disciplines that are mastered by a student creates a holistic view of a specific subject 
area. This allows you to form a curriculum from a set of independent training courses that meets in-
dividual or group needs;
 
parallelism - training can be carried out by combining the main professional activity with 
study, i.e. “on-the-job”;
 
coverage - “mass character” - the number of students is not a critical parameter. They have 
access to many sources of educational information (electronic libraries, databases), and can also com-
municate with each other and with the teacher through communication networks or using other means 
of information technology;
 
asynchrony - in the learning process, the teacher and the learner can implement the technol-
ogy of learning independently in time, i.e. according to a convenient schedule for everyone and at a 
convenient place.
In addition to the above advantages, online learning also has a couple of disadvantages:
• 
Large upfront costs of developing and building the system.
• 
There is no full-fledged human contact and emotional connection with the coach.
• 
The need to overcome ignorance, stereotypes, and skepticism of many potential customers 
who have an inadequate, outdated idea of the real possibilities of online learning.
• 
Restrictions on the use of business games. The habit of many people is learning to manage 
not so much by working hard as by being motivated, inspired, and having fun. Many face-to-face 
business courses provide such an opportunity. Online courses are less fun and require more work.
Online education has many distinct advantages. However, it also has its demerits as well as the 
traditional way of teaching. Most importantly, due to online education, course students can learn ef-
fectively and conveniently.
