The appearance of e-learning (E-learning) became inevitable in connection with the increasing needs of society and industry for the continuous professional development of employees. The first this technology was applied in the industry and only then began to use it at first in higher education institutions, and then and at schools. The European commission defines the e-learning (EL) as «use of new technologies of a multimedia and Internet for improvement of quality of training due to improving of a remote exchange of knowledge and collaboration [1].

In world practice e-learning became an integral part of the modern education. It is interesting to analyze the international tendencies of the development of e-learning [2].

In Europe the European School Network project (European Schoolnet) which integrates 24 countries works. This project implies collaboration of school students within all network by means of the European Schoolnet portal which supports many languages. On a portal the materials created by teachers from the different countries are placed.

In Great Britain the Connected Educational Community project functions. The main principle of this program – to help school students to depart with the study from the classical teacher pupil model. One of components of the project is a new model of training by means of ICT. The e-Learning Toolkit tool kit («A set for e-learning») supports teachers when using the information technologies (IT) in classes, giving the chance to school students to study in a new way. The long-term project task consists in that in five years any person could be connected to system from any place.

The government of Poland founded the program under the name «Interkl@sa Project» which connects the Polish school students to other school students of Europe and is a part of the general plan on more widespread introduction of ICT at schools of the country. Main goals of the project are to acquaint school students with new information technologies and teach them to live in global information society, using ICT in training and the solution of tasks.

In the USA the concept of e-Learning in which five main national objectives of educational technologies are provided functions:

1. All pupils and teachers will have access to IT in the audiences, schools, collectives and
2. All teachers will effectively apply technology to help pupils to reach the highest level of educational standards.

The initiative purpose «Electronic Mexico» (e-Mexico) — simultaneous training of school students and adults to use of IT by means of several advanced programs. The Mexican school program of remote learning which is directed on providing new courses to that pupils it is difficult for them to be present personally at lessons is interesting. Within the project local training and information centers work, training in skills of operation in collective and training of parents is made. E-Mexico initiative also assumes creation of local training centers where any person in the territory of all Mexico could have access to learning courses and information. Among other successful projects within e-Mexico initiative — the program Edusat, RedEscolar («A school network»), National educational video library and Enciclomedia.

Pupils of China, as a rule, receive electronic information from special training centers through lines of satellite communication. Such centers are necessary as most of pupils have no from the house of access to channels with necessary throughput.

In the Electronic Russia program the task till 2010 to create the uniform information and education environment keeping all shape of education including school [3] was set.

On e-learning distribution level Kazakhstan lags behind world leaders in this area (the USA, Finland, Singapore, South Korea, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) for some years. Thus the created educational models of these countries which are economic leaders as well, successfully work for achievement of a strategic objective — the increase of competitiveness of the country.

E-learning is in the Republic of Kazakhstan at a stage of implementation, approbation.

In this program requirements about the system implementation of E-learning on all education levels are especially selected. In 2012, according to this program, additions are made to GOSO of the higher, technical and professional education regarding preparation of pedagogical frames for operation in system of e-learning, in GOSO of secondary education — regarding mandatory use of system of e-learning. By 2015 elearning it is planned to envelop 50%, and by 2020 — 90% of the organizations of education.
