The introduction of digital technologies into the educational process has become an integral part of modern education. The organization of a mixed format requires a basic learning process, supplemented by various digital resources for both face-to-face and online learning. At the same time, it becomes urgent to ensure high quality and accessibility of education at all levels through the creation of a modern and safe digital educational environment. The various problems encountered in the creation of such content have prompted the educational community as a whole and individual teachers to develop the technical, technological, didactic and pedagogical aspects of distance education.
