The article considers the transformation of interpersonal communication in the digital educational environment. Key socio-psychological phenomena arising during online learning are analyzed, among them are: reduction of non-verbal information, changes in social perception, phenomena of anonymity, "digital footprint", communication barriers. The new digital reality of education in higher educational establishments raises the issue of student satisfaction with the learning format and the result obtained, as well as the problem of finding psychological resources that allow to effectively adapt to the digital educational environment. The objective is to identify the role of communicative competence and academic motivation in the effective adaptation of students in the digital educational environment. The following researxh methods have been applied: "Communicative Competence Scale" (E.V. Nozdryakova), "Academic Motivation Scale" (T.O. Gordeeva, O.A. Sychev, E.N. Osin); written survey. The empirical study was conducted at a university in a new region of the Russian Federation that implements education using distance learning technologies. In the course of the study it has been found out that an individual's communicative adaptability is a factor in active, proactive behaviour in the digital environment, leading to satisfaction with distance learning. Students with high levels of cognitive and self-improvement motivation report higher levels of satisfaction and adaptability in the online learning environment.
