The scientific works of leading scientists in the field of distance education were analyzed. The research is based on the use of the Delphi method. The theoretical foundations of the introduction of distance education in universities are considered. The main tendencies in the development of the educational sphere in the world and implementation of the elements of the remote education in it were studied. The special role of students as one of the main stakeholders in education is outlined. The main experts in this study are students as one of the main stakeholders in education. During the study, it became clear that the majority of students of Karazin University, namely 75% of them, are positive about the introduction of distance education.

It should be mentioned that some of the respondents believe that distance learning alienates people from society, adversely affects cultural development of a person, can lead to deterioration of communication skills, and reduce the level of social activity. However, the overwhelming majority is convinced that distance learning will in no way affect the socialization of people in society.

Taking into account that each student's biological hours may differ, distance learning provides the student with the opportunity to study in the most productive hours of his or her workday. Distance learning allows the student to combine education with work and other various activities.
