Genesis and modern content of the concept «blended learning» in the foreign pedagogical theory are grounded in the article based on modern approaches. The components (traditional full-time education, distance learning (independent and collaborative) and e-learning (synchronous and asynchronous) education) are distinguished. The levels (activity, course, educational programme, university) of practical realization of the blended learning in educational practice are defined. It was determined, that the concept evolved from understanding blended learning as combination of traditional education elements, distance and e-learning with facilities of information and communication technologies to its awareness as synergetic concept of enriching educational experience of educational process subjects. It is realized by means of integration of different strategies and levels of direct and computer-mediated pedagogical cooperation. Conceptual principles of blended learning are distinguished based on generalization and systematization of foreign researchers’ scientific works. First, it can be realized only within the frames of the formal educational programme. Second, it is done under teacher’s control in conditions when one part of educational cooperation takes place in the training room in the process of direct communication (face-to-face); the other part is realized in the mediated virtual environment. It can be individual or group work in the training room, or independent distant work with educational materials, for example, at home; in its turn, it creates possibility for the students of determining time, place, way and/or their pace of learning. Third, such educational cooperation results in forming student’s individual cognitive experience where components of traditional and interactive online-education supplement each other, and are characterized by differentiated, integrative, open, accessible, flexible and adaptive models of physical and virtual interaction.

The evolution of E-learning has been investigated in this article. In all historical epochs, education played an important role in a society. In the conditions of dynamic and ambitious socio-economic transformation of Ukrainian society education becomes the object of new growing requirements of the individual, society and state. These requirements are a major factor of the driving force behind the development of the education system. In this article we outlined new challenges to the qualification of the working force in information society and E-learning, among which are: the need for dynamic adaptation to rapidly changing knowledge and technologies, the acquisition of new skills. The last two decades have been marked by a significant increase in the emphasis on teaching on the basis of information and computer technology. A withdrawal from traditional training was based on the rapid development of the Internet and Covid-19 pandemic. The use of information and communication technologies in education makes it possible to increase its efficiency and accessibility. In addition, some aspects of the implementation of E-learning in the university have been reviwed. Many universities are actively developing a range of technologies, including mixed learning, with the aim of implementing E-learning at the university. Main features of E-learning, as a method for increasing motivation and self-study skills and as a way to improve an access to education, were investigated in the article. It is pointed out that in the structure of E-learning in educational establishments it is necessary to have such elements as: 1) E-learning system environment with the necessary means for communication of participants of E-learning; 2) electronic database of educational material; 3) virtual laboratory; 4) E-learning participants (teachers, students) and technicians (programmers, system administrators, web designers, animators). E-Learning supports self-directed types of learning. High motivation and self-study skills are prerequisites and must be complemented by an appropriately structured didactic learning environment. Self-organization and self-responsibility are important skills within flexible working and learning cultures. An important condition for E-learning: in the E- learning system can learn only highly motivated, focused and organized persons.
