The advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous learning are demonstrated. The theoretical basis of distance learning is presented with the help of didactic teaching methods, scientific and methodological support, principles of didactics.

Results. Analysis of historical stages of distance learning allowed to identify the peculiarities of the use of didactic models, methods, computer technologies (online learning, online interactive learning, e-mail, Web, multimedia programs, games, studying platforms, etc.).
