Abstract. The article says about the features of the nurturing activities in the information society. Electronic educational resources should be directed towards new educational results. Information technology claims new features, modifies the flow of the mental processes of cognitive activity of students, rebuilds the structure and function and thereby changes the whole structure of the training activities. The essence of the manifestations of education can be determined only after understanding of the essence of the phenomenon of "educational activity". Highlighting its basic features, it is possible to relate them to the presence or absence of specific e-learning resources.The information society is an essential and natural product of the rise of the post-industrial society. According to D. Bell, what distinguishes the postindustrial society is that information (its acquisition, processing, transfer, distribution, dataflow management) becomes the main object of human activities in it [1]. However, the information society is also a result of the production system globalization, of distribution and use of information. This means that only based on globalization processes and in their wake the information society gets established on a global scale, turns into a world-wide human community. Consequently, the construction of the information society just as the current globalization processes moulding post-industrial business activities in the world stem from the same foundation. They have common goals and objectives set and achieved, they face difficulties and inconsistencies of the same type. However, as the predicate of these processes the information society is generated and regenerated due to expanding communicationsaccelerated dissemination of information, its understanding and use. What distinguishes the information society is the continuous impact of communications upon each other, and in this sense the transformation of relevant information and messages relayed from one subject to another. After all, it is actually the processes of communication between various entities (the degree of their comprehension of the received information and the quality of its delivery to others) that both the progress of globalization and the development of the post-industrial society largely depend upon now.Thus, the information society is not so much determined by the knowledge boost in all areas of human life, but mainly by increased communication, i.e. by human interaction based on circulation of this knowledge and on the arisen opportunity to obtain it fairly quickly (merely by pressing a computer key).Naturally, the availability of a most varied range of readily obtainable information promotes a wider choice of human behaviours, thus increasing the chances of various activities to be designed and effectively implemented.Focused on developing the creative potential of a personality the information society is able to determine not only the prospects of man's intellectual improvement but also further development of the knowle...
