In the paper questions about using Distance Learning Platform based on the SCORM standard for definition structure of teaching materials and creation per-sonalized learning path for students are discussed. The authors made research of teaching way of the discipline “Information Technologies” for foreign students on the basis distance learning platform. A proposed strategy must take into considera-tion national, language, psychology and cognitive features of students, different their skill levels not only from information disciplines but also from other general science subjects. Number of reasons conditions the relevance and practicability of the study. First, learning of foreign students in the maritime academy requires creation of ac-cording conditions for them, which help better adapt to learning process. Second, scientifically planned and methodically determined distance learning can help to students to be not cut off educating when they have practice training in remote are-as. Efficient use of education distance form depends on a built learning manage-ment system (LMS) and information technologies by which it had been realized. Application of SCORM-package improves cognitive orientation, its accessibil-ity, variability, creative education aspects and contributes to form a public usable web-based learning environment. SCORM-packages have been developed taking into account a standard, so can be used for e-learning system based on different platforms. Without taking into account that involved training course of marine professional was oriented to foreign students, the research results can be applied for students’ teaching in other areas, because usage of SCORM standard allows to develop learning course independently of software platform and some topics are general for the forming of information culture of trainees.
