Currently, there is no need to talk about the prerequisites for digital transformation in the economy, digitalization of education, because they have already occurred. It would be illogical to assume that enterprises, including small and medium-sized businesses, will be able to remain effective, working according to the old model, using traditional approaches and methods. It is also well known that education is an essential part of the economy, and the level of education in society is compared with the parameters of economic development and population's well-being. In this regard, the need to use information communication and distance technologies in education is significantly increasing. A necessary condition for the effective use of these technologies is the availability of teachers who are capable and ready (professionally, technically, psychologically) to work in the distance learning system. The purpose of the research is to develop the structure of teacher's activity in distance learning conditions and to analyze the components of his / her activity. The leading approaches to research are a systemic approach (the study of any object as a complex integral socio-economic system) and an innovative approach (the ability to quickly respond to changes dictated by newly formed circumstances and the external environment). The novelty of the research consists in choosing a topic (not sufficiently developed at this stage) and considering it in the focus of socio-economic development of society. The main results of the work are: justification of the technique of a tutor / teacher of distance learning; development of the work structure of the teacher of distance learning; analysis of the components of his/her activities. The theoretical significance of the article is in expanding the knowledge concerning the specifics of the activities of distance learning teachers. The practical significance of the work consists in applying the results obtained in the organization of training / advanced training of university teachers to work in the conditions of distance learning. The acquired knowledge and skills can be used in training teachers not only in the system of higher education, but also in secondary educational institutions of various profiles.
