THE ROLE OF DISTANCE LEARNING IN MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

The article explores the modern theoretical aspects of the use of distance learning in the educational process. Distance learning should be interactive, i.e. students should be able to communicate with both the teacher and each other through not only e-mail or various messengers, but directly, through so-called “virtual classes” in real time. It is concluded that distance learning is a modern independent form of learning, implemented by specific means of Internet technologies or other means of providing interactivity. Distance learning has its positive and negative psychological aspects. In modern conditions of 2020, with distance learning, it is important to remain calm and use recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of the educational process.
