Abstract: This article presents a comparative analysis of the learning outcomes of higher education students using two different forms of learning: traditional offline learning and e-learning. The features of e-learning are considered. The study considers the widespread introduction of digital technologies in both electronic and traditional learning. The subject of the study is the influence of various forms of organizing the educational process based on the results of academic activities. The purpose of the study is to identify the most suitable forms that are most effective in modern conditions. The author used a comparative analysis of the learning results of distance and traditional forms of education obtained during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The following objective criteria were chosen: student grades, average score during certification, and the number of students who successfully passed their exams. The work considers the difficulties of objectively comparing learning results of e-learning and traditional education formats. Despite this, it was possible to identify differences between different types of education, which are especially visible when conducting certification in a standardized format. In general, it was shown that students taught using the traditional format gained more professional skills and competencies than those who studied remotely. As a result of the study, preferred forms of training were identified, as well as the most effective ones. These formats currently include traditional learning, which uses the entire arsenal of modern digital content, and blended learning, which uses both conventional and online learning forms.

Abstract: Reasons for necessary and sufficient conditions of effective implementation of distance training are performed in the context of the strategic priorities of modernization of education connected with ensuring its availability and a continuity. Distance training is considered as purposeful process of the organization of activities of students for mastering the "pressed" human experience, to acquisition of experience of creative activities and development of capabilities for the purpose of application and acquisition of knowledge during all life on the basis of use of remote technologies of training.Information technologies and their use in the course of the mediated interaction of students and pedagogical workers only indirectly can promote forming of the corresponding values and accepted in the society of rules and standards of behavior that in the long term does demanded the researches devoted to "embedding" of distance training in educational process so that educational function of education was staticized. On the basis of the categorical and conceptual analysis the concept "distance training" is specified. On the basis of the analysis of the institutional bases of implementation of electronic training and remote educational technologies sufficient conditions of effective implementation of distance training are proved. Reasons for necessary conditions are performed on the basis of the analysis of the existing educational practice of the higher education.To the necessary conditions determining scientific novelty of a research, the need for a legislative regulation of limit of classroom load of the teacher and loading connected with accomplishment of research, educational and methodical, organizational and educational work belong (that assumes change of approach to financing); availability of the corresponding hardware and competences for development of remote technologies of training. The institutional bases of a regulation of educational activities (sufficient conditions of effective implementation of distance training) are the documents regulating activities of basic divisions of the educational organizations and options of network interaction (integration of educational programs or use of resources of other organizations).Conclusions: Use of remote technologies of training shall promote development of new approaches to assessment of productivity of work of the teacher of the higher school on the basis of creation of a single (All-Russian) method of calculation of rating of the teacher of higher education institution. The measure of efficiency of educational, research, educational and methodical, organizational and educational activities which is performed by the teacher shall find reflection in it. Reasonable need of a legislative regulation of load of the teacher of the higher school assumes change of approaches to financing of higher education institutions: it is necessary to include the works connected with development of remote technologies of training and creation of intellectual property items for use in educational process in the section of the state task. Indicators of monitoring of efficiency of activities of higher education institutions should be added with indicators on which it is possible to judge activities of higher education institution regarding increase in availability of the higher education and the created conditions for implementation of the concept of training at an extent of all life.Specific weight of the means received by the educational organization from use of results of intellectual activities, in total income of the educational organization" also "the amount of the created results of intellectual activities having legal protection in Russia and beyond its limits" shall become priority performance indicators of research activities ".

Abstract: The subject of this research is the optimal model of systematization of the theory of mass communication. The authors analyze the existing models of systematization of theories of mass media, particularly presented in the following works from the position of their grounds and didactic optimality: “Mass Communication in Modern World: Methodology of Analysis and Practical Studies” by M. Nazarov, “Communication Theory by G. Pocheptsov, A First Look at Communication Theory” by E. Griffin, “Mass Communication and the Problem of Reality Construction: Overview of the General Theoretical Approaches” by E. Dyakova and A. Trakhtenberg, and “Mass Communication: Western Theories and Concepts” by G. Bakulev. The authors suggest their own model of systematization  of the theories of mass communication, which is based on the most essential characteristics of mass communication as the social system (theory of social essence of mass communication, theory of structure, functions and dysfunctions of mass communications, theory and concept of the effects of mass communication, theory of the normative status of mass communication processes, “new media” as a factors of transformation of the communication system, as well as their characteristics), and grouping of the theories by the principle of examination and understanding of these characteristics from the perspective of most reputable and renowned authors in communication science.
