Purpose: The issue of distance learning is presented in the work, and especially the development stages of the educational platform of the Internet Teaching Centre for Students (further referred to as ICKS), which is planned to be used for implementation of the e-learning didatcic process. Design/methodology/approach: The following programming technologies were used for development of the educational platform: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and SQL. The relational database was designed using the DFD and ERD models, and created in MySQL using the SQL language. PHP language was used to develop the relevant interface so that the user can access and modify data in the database; scripts in this language form the MySQL database front-end making it possible to carry out operations on data. The ICKS web page interface, including the Administrative Panel, Student Rooms, and Teacher Rooms, was developed using the HTML language and the CSS cascading style sheets. Findings: Detailed e-learning site specification requires were put forth and the contemporary technologies were applied to develop the framework for the scaleable e-learning platform. Research limitations/implications: The system will have to be filled in with relevant course materials and tested thoroughly before being fielded. Originality/value: System elements development completed out so far and detailed specifications make it possible to implement the platform to handle all subjects taught at the Institute.
