Abstract

This paper aims to review the present state of digital distance education, assess the problems associated with transitioning to the online space, and determine the priorities of online education. The study draws on the analysis of surveys, monitoring studies, and statistical information from state services. It examines the technical capabilities of educational institutions, the information technology skills of instructors and students, and their motivation. On top of that, it identifies the main problems encountered during the implementation of digital technologies in the education process while paying special attention to the role of online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a psychological portrait of a modern young student, the authors provide some recommendations for the learning content to increase the interactivity of the learning process and improve students’ motivation. The article ends with outlining key areas for digital learning development that would improve the overall effectiveness of the education system transformation.
