The purpose of the article is to determine the essence and main characteristics of individual information technology learning systems automated based on information and communication technologies. The article defines the essence of automated individual learning systems based on information and communication technologies, which represent a technology that automatically adjusts educational content according to the actual level of educational achievements of the student, which this technology determines, as well as their individual characteristics (age, pace, psychotype, etc.). A comparative analysis of traditional learning systems and automated individual learning systems based on information and communication technologies has been carried out. The main advantages of individual learning systems have been characterized. The characteristics inherent in the vast majority of individual learning systems have been determined. The description of the main types of individual learning systems has been carried out. There are several indicators based on which, it is possible to determine whether a learning system is individual. It is noted that now, individual learning systems only begin active development and gradual introduction -such systems are not yet widespread even in the developed countries of the world, undergoing experimental testing. In the future, individual learning systems will become the engine of development of new pedagogy, strategies for the personification of education, and expansion of opportunities for active learning.
