The article underlines that currently, the priority is given to mixed learning which involves combining learning in the classroom and electronic interaction between the teacher and the student. The results of the study show that the process of digitalization in education is contradictory and ambiguous from the resource and methodological points of view. The teaching community, parents and employers point at the risks of reducing the quality of education in the digital environment. Positive effects of using the resources of the digital educational environment appear if the student is motivated to study, has the ability to self-education, and is able to differentiate digital resources.
