of the COVID-19 crisis compelled immediate responses to mitigate infection risks, particularly in education. A swift transition to e-learning became a necessity, posing myriad challenges for students and institutions. Issues ranged from technical considerations to educators' preparedness and students' readiness, necessitating a reevaluation of the role of information technology in education. The didactic potential of e-learning tools is considered, and methodological recommendations are formulated for their integration into pedagogical practice, adaptation to both distance and traditional conditions. An analysis of relevant international studies informs the development ofa teaching method that optimizes distance-learning efficiency and minimizes network load. This method strategically balances synchronous and asynchronous learning, considering network traffic reduction, fostering equal educational opportunities regardless of location, health, or financial status. This study affirms the method's effectiveness through a com-parative analysis of the results with those of previous traditional semesters. This research contributes valuable insights for navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic in the education sector. This study aims to explore the pedagogical possibilities of e-learning tools and offer methodological recommendations for their incorporation into teaching practices, adaptable to both remote and conventional environments. Additionally, it seeks to develop and validate a teaching approach that enhances the efficiency of distance learning, reduces network load, and promotes equitable educational access, addressing the challenges associated with the rapid development and widespread adoption of e-learning technologies.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Пандемия COVID-19 обусловила необходимость экстренного перехода образовательных учреждений к дистанционному формату обучения, что выявило ряд организационных, методических и технических проблем. Особое значение приобрели вопросы эффективности дистанционного обучения и обеспечения равного доступа к образовательным ресурсам при ограниченных возможностях сетевой инфраструктуры. Рассмотрены педагогические возможности электронных образовательных технологийи предложены методические рекомендации по их интеграции в учебный процесс в условиях дистанционного и смешанного обучения. На основе анализа зарубежного и отечественного опыта разработан авторский метод организации дистанционного обучения, основанный на рациональном сочетании синхронных и асинхронных форм взаимодействия, позволяющий повысить эффективность обучения при минимальной нагрузке на сеть.Эффективность предложенного метода подтверждена результатами педагогического эксперимента и сравнительного статистического анализа учебных достижений студентов в дистанционном и традиционном форматах обучения. Полученные результаты демонстрируют сопоставимый уровень учебных достижений и высокую степень удовлетворенности обучающихся, что свидетельствует о практической значимости предложенного подхода и возможности его применения в условиях ограниченных сетевых ресурсов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>e-learning</kwd><kwd>learning management</kwd><kwd>network bandwidth</kwd><kwd>Quality of Service (QoS)</kwd><kwd>educational technologies</kwd><kwd>digital accessibility</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>электронное обучение</kwd><kwd>управление обучением</kwd><kwd>пропускная способность сети</kwd><kwd>качество обслуживания (QoS)</kwd><kwd>образовательные технологии</kwd><kwd>цифровая доступность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Banas EJ, Emory WF.
