As digital media permeate all aspects of our lives, achieving distance learning today, and in the future, can be considered inevitable, for the effectiveness of which it is necessary to provide appropriate preconditions. After the sudden outbreak of the pandemic in late 2019 and early 2020 caused by the appearance of the COVID19 virus, faculties around the world were forced to reorganize and move to online classes as soon as possible, in order to enable students to continue the academic year. The aim of this paper is to point out the basic assumptions of successful online teaching in higher education, which is assumed to continue to exist in some form after the end of the pandemic. The given assumptions will be presented in the form of pointing out the specifics of online teaching, which are significantly related to the success of students in it. It is possible to single out three groups of such specifics: individual specifics of the students themselves, characteristics of online teaching and characteristics of the higher education institution, which are described in more detail in the paper. Such teaching primarily implies adequate preparation of teachers and students in terms of developing appropriate individual competencies. In addition, an important factor of successful online teaching implies the existence of appropriate institutional support at the level of a specific higher education institution in its implementation. The given recommendations can be a good starting point for the implementation and improvement of the quality of online teaching in higher education in our country.

Educational system is the most important social institution, which provides the development of a personality and frames his/her worldview and the conception of subjective well-being. Despite the large number of studies on the issue of psychological and pedagogical security of educational environment, the sphere of higher education still remains underexplored. The available empiric material has not received sufficient methodological justification and conceptualization. This article aims to provide the conceptualization of the risk category as applied to the educational environment of a higher education institution, as well as empiric investigation of the risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students.Materials and methods. 213 applicants and 547 students of the Kuban State Technological University took part in the survey. The following investigation methods were used: expert assessment, interview, questioning, content analysis, analysis of means method, cluster analysis and factor analysis.Investigation results. Comparative examination of the manifestation degree of risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students of higher education institution showed significant differences in the assessment of risk by these groups of respondents. From the point of view of applicants, the main risks are connected with social and psychological aspects of the educational environment of a higher education institution, relations within student groups and interaction with teachers, as well as with the issues related to the educational management and leisure arrangement. As viewed by the students, the risks within the educational environment include external and social and psychological risk factors, motivating risks and risks arising from the learning process organization and management and the related issues. Applicants’ notion of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution was mainly influenced by information they received from media and by the opinion of their relatives and age mates.Consideration and conclusions. It was proved that the applicants’ idea of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution is determined by the opinion of people they know personally, however it changes during the process of studying in higher education institution and acquiring their own experience of being within the environment. The investigation results allow creating a model of psychological and pedagogical security within the educational environment of a higher education institution. This model makes it possible to forecast main risks of the educational environment, their development, and evolvement and find solution to them.
