Digital transformation of society and economy led to the rapid spread of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education, which became a new driver of development for global education and for the emergence of the phenomena of e-learning and blended learning, introduction of new types of educational resources, and increased diversity of information and communication technologies in higher education, which also led to a rise in the number of publications in this field. The article considers the essence and offers a classification of technical tools of e-learning. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of approaches to the formation of models of quality of electronic services and information technologies, as well as specific models of e-learning quality. This allowed the authors to propose a model of e-learning quality and determine the set of consumer properties of e-learning technology. The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 20-010-00571 "The Impact of Digital Transformation on Improving the Quality and Innovation of Services".

In the dynamic contemporary world, characterised by the ubiquitous presence of information and com-munication technologies, the role and tasks of higher education institutions and their links with the so-cial and economic environment keep changing. These institutions also undergo the process of digital transformation and actively respond to the needs of entrepreneurs. Blended learning – a solution which sees the value in building interpersonal relationships while taking advantage of e-learning tools – can significantly increase the availability of an institution’s educational offering for the business sector.

Based on the analysis of the existing practice of organizing the educational process in the higher education system, the article examines the features of its transformation and restructuring in the context of digitalization as a global trend in the development of all spheres of human activity. At the same time, it is noted that digitalization allows a new approach to achieving the planned educational results, to implementing the content of education, methods and organizational forms of educational work, as well as evaluating the results achieved. The article emphasizes that digitalization, on the one hand, provides increased openness, flexibility of education, and greater involvement of students in the educational process. It is also noted that the education digitalization allows you to design new educational situations, involve new actors in the learning process, while transforming the configuration of relations between its main participants. Digitalization makes significant changes in the role of the teacher and the student in the learning process, which requires appropriate adaptation. Special attention is paid to clarifying the main definitions related to the process of education digitalization and the implementation of e-learning. The main requirements for designing e-learning components such as video lectures, webinars, and e-courses are considered. The roles of the teacher that allow implementing e-learning in the higher education system are identified separately. In conclusion, it is noted that the digital transformation of higher education provides a new round of its development in modern conditions and is expressed in the formation of a new – mixed – learning model that allows building a higher education system at a qualitatively different level, in which educational results are formed in digital conditions with a rational combination of classical and innovative didactic solutions.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.
