Under the influence of modern information technologies, higher education has entered the era of digital education. Traditionally accepted relationships in the university, when a student is an object, and a teacher is a subject of the educational process, are being questioned. The structure of interaction and relationships between teachers and students at universities is changing. If earlier the interaction between a teacher and a student was limited by space and time, then in the era of digital information education these restrictions can be eliminated. There was also distance learning (through paper letters, videotapes, etc.) before the widespread use of the Internet, however, such education was episodic, one-sided and could neither replace nor fully complement traditional classroom-based higher education. However, today the situation has changed, and this issue is relevant to consider not only from the point of view of new educational methods, but also from the position of changing the nature and direction of communication between students and teachers as the main participants in the educational process. The aim of the article is to describe in detail the characteristics of changes, technological achievements and trends in the development of interaction between participants in the educational process at a university in the era of digital education. This article is of a theoretical nature. It uses systemic, cultural-historical and communicative approaches. The results of the study suggest that the choice of electronic educational environments requires a clear correlation with the format of pedagogical activity and its targets. Moodle demonstrates the greatest efficiency in the framework of systemic training designed for a long term; the platform provides detailed control of students' academic achievements and structured accumulation of educational analytics. In turn, Zoom is suitable for organizing synchronous classes: online lectures and seminars, where immediate exchange of opinions between participants is important. Theoretical significance of the work. The article contributes to understanding the functional characteristics of digital educational platforms in the context of transforming interaction between students and teachers today. Practical significance of the work. The results of the study can be useful for updating university programs through the targeted implementation of technologies for adjusting pedagogical approaches taking into account the synergy of asynchronous and synchronous formats, and for improving the quality of distance learning. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the work examines the specific features of interaction between teachers and students in digital environment in the context of the present time using specific examples.
