INFORMATION INTERACTION IN MODERN DISTANCE LEARNING SYSTEMS

Distance learning (DL) has become a natural part of the entire educational system and is actively used as a form of training at all its levels. In higher education, it is used for advanced training, additional courses, and more and more universities offer it as one of the options for correspondence courses. The virtual space in which DL is actually conducted has formed in literally one decade and today it is impossible to imagine a world without it. Changes have affected almost all of a person’s life. That is everyday activity, training, work and almost everything today is covered by the virtual space in which we live along with the real physical space surrounding us. Modern DL technologies actively use the new technological base and the opportunities that open up in that regard. The relevance of considering the current state of DL is primarily associated with new information technologies for presenting information and with the use of artificial intelligence in the learning process, the use of which creates both the new opportunities and information risks. The authors have repeatedly addressed the topic of DL and the results of that work are presented in a number of publications.
