The article raises a problem of organizing the educational process in an online classroom. In this mode, both teaching and learning are carried out using electronic devices that are relatively new to the entire teaching and educational community. The article considers four separate questionnaires created for students and school teachers. The questions related to various aspects of online classes, such as the organization of online homeschooling, knowledge transfer, comfort, assessment and future aspects. Questionnaires are distributed electronically in Google forms. Responses are received from teachers and students of grades 9-11. The data are collected and the results discussed in two ways: firstly, the prospects of teaching in comparison with the study group and, secondly, school groups on the Internet in comparison with regular classes. The work aims at improving remote technologies in order to make their use more effective. The results of this study will be useful in improving the current training scenario, comfort, knowledge transfer and assessment model, educating teaching and the learning community to approach and maximize the benefits of online education.
