Popis: Purpose. Digitalization of higher education is a long-term trend that has gained a new impetus for further devel- opment due to the forced transition to distance learning during the pandemic COVID-19. The article analyzes the im- pact of digital transformation on the educational process in higher education institutions via teachers’ and students’ per- ception; explores the experience of mass distance learning provision in Ukraine’s higher education system due to COVID-19. Methodology. The research study is based on the survey results conducted by the authors in November- December 2020 among teachers and students of sixty-five Ukrainian institutions of higher education. The authors have also explored the current state of the educational process provision in the sector of higher education in Ukraine, the EU and the world under the conditions of the pandemic; have identified problem areas in the work of higher education inst i- tutions during quarantine and social isolation conditions, as well as challenges in each structural integral. Results. The authors have specified the transformational changes experienced by the global higher education system under the im- pact of the pandemic, which bring to higher education institutions a huge number of serious challenges and will signifi- cantly change the global higher education system in the future. Originality. The paper investigates students' attitudes towards distance learning as a three-level unity with emotional, cognitive and behavioral aspects and draws a general conclusion that, in general, distance learning is both a field of opportunity and a possible source of individual and inst i- tutional risks. Practical value. The article determines the directions of e-learning in the entire system of distance learn- ing in the national system of higher education in the pandemic and after it. This article was prepared within the framework of the research project “Potential of higher education in conditions of the pandemic: global, European, national dimensions” of the National Research Fund of Ukraine.
