It has been established that the advantage of distance learning resources lies in the fact that the teacher, if necessary, can make additions and changes to its content, and printed publications, unlike electronic resources, cannot be corrected during the educational process. It has been proved that the use of a distance learning system while teaching Russian as a foreign language is a big breakthrough in teaching foreign students who are unable to attend classrooms for good reasons and gain knowledge in the traditional way.
