Summary:Universal digitalization is the mainstream of most changes in modern society, has recently taken over universities. Currently, we are dealing with the complexity and uncertainty in higher education and its low ability to respond to economic growth, as well as be a source of talent and innovation in society. Online learning, in addition to the advantages that are already described in the scientific literature (economic efficiency, versatility, accessibility, variability), also has anti-crisis potential. Distance learning remains the only possible one against the backdrop of global challenges facing mankind (military conflicts, technological disasters, pandemics). In the article, the authors study the issues of transferring higher education to the online environment associated with quarantine measures in connection with the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). The epidemic has become a kind of test designed to verify the readiness of classical universities to switch to digital education. In this regard, there is a need to determine how higher education fits into new conditions? The article analyzes the current state of ed-tech, the risks and prospects of the total transfer of educational services to an online form, provides examples from international practice.
