Abstract
Having passed a long way of development, distance learning from the category of innovation is going to the one of common sight. The gap in space and (until modern phase) in time has been the intact sign of each stage of its development. Distance learning is also characterized by the presence of technology, dialogue between the learner and the trainer, a high proportion of self-study, formal organization. As it is demonstrated by our study, distance learning in higher education, has a number of problems. To solve them, we proposed the subject-centered approach, since there are always people behind all economic, political, legal, pedagogical, psychological problems of distance learning. After identifying the main difficulties, the ways to minimize them were proposed: permanent two-way communication between teachers and students, instructors and students, teachers and instructors; encouragement and support of communication between students, conducting face-to-face meetings between students and teachers; duplication of academic and organizational information; interaction of students with students-tutors.
