Modern educational activity requires a high level of practical orientation due to the deep internal transformation of the most of economic, social and other processes characteristic to the modern level of human development, primarily in the digital sphere. The current situation requires scientific conceptualization and transfer of the gained in the process of educational activity knowledge, and the practice of implementing these processes should also take into account modern requirements of computerization. Digital technologies in education are implemented through the use of information and digital means and various channels of interaction in the educational process, completely computerized or based on the use of hardware and technological support, often also associated with the use of digital technologies. The impact of digital transformation on the practice of learning activities is often realized through the use of information and digital means in the educational process in the form of the implementation of a technological learning management system. However, this is complicated in the current situation by the fact that the absolute majority of information and digital tools traditionally used by educational organizations have a foreign origin. At the same time, a situation may arise in which educational organizations should be ready to promptly change these tools with minimal damage to the educational process. All of the above characterizes the relevance of the issues studied and defines the accepted formulation of the purpose of the study as considering the specific aspects of the use of information and digital tools, in particular learning management systems, in the educational processes of Russian educational institutions, depending on the areas of training. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn about the possibility of a prompt change of the information and digital means used, if necessary. The study was based on the processing and analysis of the survey results conducted among students of the Kazan National Research Technical University using a set of research methods in order to achieve its goal and test the proposed hypothesis.

In the modern world, economic and social processes have similar features, one of which is the direct impact of the results of scientific and technological progress (STP) on them. It is obvious that the educational sphere related to the economic and social spheres implies the mandatory implementation of the STP results in ensuring the educational process. The greatest effect is provided by the use of digital educational technologies, which are the result of stimulating the use of various digital communication channels in the educational process. These channels are implemented on the basis of educational programs prepared by educational organizations, in which training is conducted in a blended form, and part of the educational activity is implemented within the framework of distance learning (DL). At the same time, it is necessary to conduct a scientific study of the certain aspects that ensure the attractiveness of DL, since the issue of students' subjective attitude to the format and technical aspects of the educational process can be considered as one of the components that determine the effectiveness of modern educational activities implemented through the use of digital educational technologies. The above-mentioned points characterize the relevance of the conducted research and allow us to indicate as the accepted formulation of the aim of the study the need to study the opinions of full-time and part-time students majoring in the Humanities about the organization of DL and the alleged advantages and convenience of using information and digital tools in the educational process as separate technical aspects of DL organization. The theoretical significance of the study is determined by obtaining theoretical conclusions about the impact of the use of information and digital tools in the educational process in the organization of DL. The practical significance consists in studying the opinion of students about the advantages and convenience of using information and digital tools in the educational process when organizing DL. The novelty of the work consists in studying the impact that the particular technical aspects of the DL highlighted in the study have on its attractiveness to students. To collect opinions, a survey method was used on the technical aspects of education. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn about the impact of some technical aspects of the DL on ensuring the attractiveness of the DL. The results of a survey of students of the KNRTU-KAI named after A.N. Tupolev (Kazan) were used as the basis for the study. On this basis, using a set of research methods, the research goal was achieved and the proposed hypothesis was verified.
