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.

The paper presents the results of theoretical and empirical research. The author has completed the tasks set: - the influence of interpersonal communications on the process and results of higher education has been studied; - the influence of various digital and traditional learning technologies on student motivation and learning outcomes has been studied; - the most effective technologies have been selected to ensure the desired result of educational activities. The goal was achieved. The research methodology is determined by relevance. The author conducted a theoretical and empirical study. It uses a set of methods and techniques, as well as quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results obtained. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that it is important to solve the existing difficulties and problems of using distance learning technologies in teaching students of higher educational institutions. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the traditional method of teaching and distance education. The scientific novelty of the research. The conducted research allowed: - the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the problems of using distance learning technologies in teaching students of higher educational institutions are identified; - detailed results of the study are presented; - digital skills that are important for a modern teacher to master are highlighted; - the technology of mixed learning is described. Style, structure, content. The style of presentation corresponds to publications of this level. The language of the work is scientific. The structure of the work is clearly traced, the author highlights the main semantic parts. In the introduction, the author noted the relevance of the problem raised. It was highlighted that digitalization has covered all spheres of human activity, including education. Distance learning began to play a significant role, the active development of which was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Distance learning has certain advantages and advantages, but also a significant number of disadvantages. At the same time, the digitalization and use of electronic content in distance learning covers all aspects of the learning system, which is not achieved by the traditional form of learning. Distance and traditional face-to-face education is characterized by the transformation of educational relations, which are fully or partially transferred to the virtual space, new forms and opportunities are used in these relations. The author highlights the main problems of using distance learning technologies in teaching students of higher educational institutions. The analysis made it possible to identify the main contradiction of the problem and the purpose of the work. However, it is important to consider the problem raised, since there is a shortage of such studies. The following sections are devoted to the description of research materials and methods. The author highlights its tasks, methods and techniques, as well as the main content. Special attention in the results is devoted to the discussion of the following issues: - the importance for students of educational materials on traditional and electronic media obtained from various sources; - comparison of grades given by students to lectures given in traditional and video formats; - assessment by students of personal professional skills before and after studying in traditional and remote form, etc. The author highlights the digital skills that a modern teacher should possess at a high level: searching and evaluating information on the Internet, independently creating educational materials and multimedia content, using existing educational resources; creating virtual platforms for their student groups, both on the basis of the distance learning system used and on social networks; creating and distributing their own digital portfolio, selection of modern methods, including blended and mobile learning. The conclusion contains reasonable and generalizing conclusions. Bibliography. The bibliography of the article includes 20 domestic and foreign sources that have been published over the past three years. The list contains mainly articles and abstracts. The sources are designed, in general, correctly and uniformly. Appeal to opponents. Recommendations: - describe the prospects and main directions for further research of the affected problem; - highlight the novelty and the author's contribution to the solution of the highlighted problem; - to specify the purpose of the work, since within the framework of this study it is difficult to identify the features of using the traditional method of teaching and distance education in conditions of rapid digitalization in all spheres of human activity. Conclusions. The problems of the article are of undoubted relevance, theoretical and practical value; it will be of interest to specialists who deal with the problems of using distance and traditional learning technologies in higher education.
