Digital transformation has affected all spheres of life in our society, including the education and retraining system. E-learning technologies based on the widespread use of information and communication technologies in education are becoming more and more popular - both throughout the world and in the Republic of Belarus.

The problems of introducing information technologies in education were discussed by specialists at a round table held within the framework of the IKE forum .
In our country, IT companies are actively developing, which offer specially developed software and products for distance learning. The sector of corporate education is growing rapidly, which makes it possible to solve the problem of advanced training and retraining of personnel without interrupting the main activity. The introduction of innovative technologies based on the use of ICT into the education system makes it possible to individualize the educational process and adapt it to the characteristics of each student, to improve the level of qualifications and training, taking into account the current demands of the labor market. The introduction of innovative technologies of distance and lifelong learning in the educational process is a prerequisite for improving the quality and accessibility of education in the Republic of Belarus and ensuring the competitiveness of the domestic education system at the world level.

A representative of BSUIR shared her experience of introducing distance learning technology into the educational process:
- Previously, we had an experience that I consider very successful: students from the regions studied remotely for two years, and then, based on the results of electronic exams, we chose the best ones, and they completed their studies in-person. And now we are constantly developing this kind of approach. Our distance learning system operates at all levels of the educational process: support in full-time learning, the provision of materials in electronic form, intermediate and final computer tests, as well as elective courses and advanced training courses in distance form. All this is supported by a large number of electronic simulators and electronic teaching aids. We widely use the webiring system and constantly use webinars, webinars-mix, and not even as part of distance education, but as part of the educational environment.

- We must help all participants in the educational process to achieve what they want and do it most effectively. Microsoft has signed an agreement with Belarus, and this will be a fruitful cooperation, taking into account the key priorities of both parties.
