The attention is paid to educational environment personalization for different participants of the learning process, possibilities for information arrangement and monitoring. Thanks to the arrangement of electronic learning courses (ELC) according to the created educational programmes in the e-learning system, students have access to current information about all disciplines which belong to a definite educational professional or scientific programme: distribution by semesters, forms of control, progress in the courses, etc. At the same time it provides administration with the possibility to track activities of applicants for education and academic staff in every educational programme. Electronic deanery module implemented in Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University e-learning system allows to monitor educational process, get access to current data on every ELC progress rate and also to personalize the educational process for every student through individual learning plans. With the help of the e-learning system students can get remote access to the materials of all disciplines, fulfil tasks, send them to teachers for review and take tests. The blocks in the user's personal dashboard allow to get quick access to communication and collaboration tools for online classes arrangement, group work and receiving feedback from teachers, to the University’s library and other useful resources that simplify educational process arrangement.
