Organization of the educational process using distance learning

Distance education seems to be especially important for English with its vast territory, uneven population density and the location of university centers. However, the use of DL in practice without appropriate methodological training can lead to discrediting of DL as a form of education. Lack of a unified concept, lack of practical experience often lead to completely opposite views on this form of education: from reduction to a set of means and methods of transferring educational information to its absolutization, to the appearance of ideas about creating a virtual educational institution, etc.
