PROBLEMS OF E-LEARNING

Abstract

The introduction of information technologies into modern education leads to the emergence of new learning opportunities, the emergence of new teaching methods, for example, e-learning. This article reveals the concept and content of the term “e-learning”. Various approaches of scientists to the interpretation of this concept are considered. The problems associated with the introduction of e-learning in the educational process are identified, such as the uncertainty of terminology, changes in the status and role of a teacher in the educational process; the regulatory and legal framework governing the creation and use of e-learning systems has not been improved, and there is a threat of losing the uniqueness of Russian education. The author’s view on the solution of these problems and on the prospects for the development of distance forms of e-learning, such as asynchronous and synchronous, is given.
