Summary/Abstract: E-learning is one of the innovative technologies of formation of students' professional competence. The distance learning in the Russian educational organizations has both advantages over the traditional forms of education and some peculiarities. It sets certain specific requirements for the teacher and the learner. In particular, one should keep in mind that all foreign educational resources suggest a proficient command of a foreign (primarily English) language. There are resources in the Russian Internet too that favor the formation of general cultural and professional competence. And all courses and modules are available in Russian. The most popular websites are: LendWings, Uniweb, Zillion, Universarium, etc. They offer teaching materials on business, design, photography, programming and other subjects. There are mostly free courses, pay courses can be acquired in batches (several pieces at a time within one subject). After completing the course, students are awarded certificates. The courses place emphasis on the programs, but not on individual video lectures. Upon completion, you can be awarded a university diploma, or a certificate. The Runet currently offers more than 400 training programs. Their prices vary depending on the prestige of the university and other factors. Thus, the educational innovations contribute to the expansion, implementation and use of innovative technologies of adoption of educational programs and the formation of a wide range of competencies. E-learning as an educational innovation promotes the development of competencies and is aimed to provide opportunities to citizens of the Russian Federation residing in remote and hard-to-reach areas for additional professional education.
