Abstract
In the XXI century, the role of information technologies in the life of society is growing every day. The informatization of society leads to qualitative changes in the field of education. The world requires more and more mobility from a person, therefore, in addition to traditional forms of education, distance learning firmly occupies its position. Distance education acts as one of the social mechanisms that contribute to the adaptation of society to new living conditions. Modern computer telecommunications are able to provide knowledge transfer and access to a variety of sources containing educational information on an equal basis, and sometimes much more effectively than traditional means of teaching.
