The article reveals the problems of interaction in the digital learning environment. Based on a survey of teachers, the most frequent problems of switching to remote work in connection with the pandemic were identified, the most difficult of which were the lack of skills and experience in working in a digital learning environment, an increase in labor costs for preparing for classes and checking students' work, the complexity of teaching practice-oriented subjects remotely, lack of the necessary equipment and sufficient Internet speed for students, the detrimental effect on the health of teachers and students of long-term work at the computer. Some of these problems are pedagogical and methodological, related to the organization of the pedagogical process in the digital learning environment. Purpose of the research: to study the essence of the concept of "digital learning environment", using the deductive method from the general to the particular (individual) to analyze the generic relations between the concepts: environment, learning environment, digital learning environment. Analyze and compare different approaches to defining the concept of "digital learning environment", consider its components. The research method was theoretical analysis and comparison of approaches to the definition of the concept of "digital learning environment". To solve the research problems, the author introduces his own definition of the concept of "digital learning environment" - a subsystem of the learning environment, a set of specially organized pedagogical conditions for teaching, social learning, and personal development, implemented based on digital technologies. The article also pays great attention to the technical and technological aspects of the digital learning environment. The author concludes about the need to minimize negative changes provoked by digitalization, about the relevance of studying the phenomenon of interaction between subjects of the pedagogical process in the digital learning environment.
