The author offers his answers to the questions posed by the results of a comparative analysis of the legal and psychological-pedagogical aspects of distance and classroom teaching in a historical perspective. It is noted that the experience gained in the massive use of e-learning technologies allows us to formulate requirements for a roadmap for migration to a qualitatively new level of education by adjusting the approach to the use of IT and the management of educational processes.
