Modern social development requires improvement of the existing educational system, including through the implementation of innovative distance education, which has become established after the introduction of global quarantine restrictions. The purpose of the article is to propose a practically proven model of distance learning that will be useful in training the specialists of the future. Appropriate methods were used to write the article. The most important among them were the content analysis of theoretical and empirical materials, the method of generalization, and comparison. As a result of referring to the theoretical framework, a total of 27 positions of modern and relevant scientific literature were analyzed, which made it possible to provide the necessary theoretical basis for the study. The results analyze the impact of the proposed distance learning model on the educational process. The strengths and vulnerabilities of the proposed model are also identified based on empirical material. The results obtained are compared with the general trends in the organization of distance learning in the world. The conclusions note that the findings confirmed several statements about the prospects for using distance education even after the COVID-19 pandemic: the overall effectiveness of distance learning and the positive impact on students' academic achievement. The use of this learning model has led to an increase in digital competence, stimulation of students' cognitive activity, desire for independent learning, and use of digital resources.
