This study aims to determine the practical aspects and functioning of higher education over distance in Ukraine. The subject of the work is the systematic approach to the analysis of the organization of higher education as a  subject of research, the identification of problems and challenges by presenting higher education as an economic, market, management, and operational subsystem. During the investigation it was established that the dominance of asynchronous educational technologies, identified and characterized the thin sides within each of the subsystems of higher education, among which the most vulnerable are: technological support of optical networks and wide-format access for Internet users, especially in rural areas; weak infrastructure in universities for video conferencing and other forms of remote work; low digital competencies of teachers (up to 60% of surveyed teachers), low quality of university management and adaptation to change; slow use of innovative offline learning technologies. The introduction of the systematic approach to improving the quality of education through the strategic definition of goals, mission, and priorities of university development is substantiated; introduction of pedagogical design; creating a  comfortable environment for students to study and research; providing EdTech tools for training and assessment; regular monitoring of the content and making sure that the design of educational courses were grounded. Among the applied steps, it is recommended to intensify the implementation of a dual education system adopted by the author of innovative teaching methods, particularly “flipped learning” technology.
