It finds the most effective options for solving the problems that have arisen and ways to reduce the negative impact of distance learning on students of the three universities. The article reveals and analyses the causes and consequences of decreased learning motivation caused by distance learning and offers the most effective ways to increase learning motivation through the use of personally-oriented technologies in distance learning.
