In the search for opportunities to solve the variety of global problems faced by humanity, the discovery of education as the main possible key to their solution was attained at the beginning of the new century. But, not just education as an opportunity for attaining a high intellectual level, for a certain period of time, by every person, but an education of a continuous (lifelong) nature. This has led to a clear shift in the "learn to live" paradigm to "lifelong learning", which has created a premise for rapid and serious reforms, especially in the higher education system. A wide range of innovative ideas have been launched. New educational technologies have been developed. A new review and reading of traditional training methods and approaches has been challenged in order to achieve greater efficiency in their implementation. One of these ideas was related to the introduction of distance learning in response to a clearly identified need to meet the ever-increasing need to obtain education from different groups of people who, for one reason or another, are unable to get involved in the forms of traditional education. All this drew attention to a deeper study and clarification of the essence and specifics of distance learning as an innovation in meeting the objective needs of modern higher education. The emphasis on innovation in the education process is based on its ability to bring about qualitative changes to systems and ways to increase their effectiveness. It is also considered as a necessary basis for the transition from an old to a qualitatively new state of education based on a revision of the existing normative positions. It is also defined as a phenomenon that does not arise on its own, but is the result of long-standing scientific searches.
