Abstract Digitalization of education is both a logical result and a driving force of the development of e-society. The classical idea of the university becomes a thing of the past. A digital university is being actively formed, whose organization responds to new dimensions of space and time in a situation of liquid modernity and cosmopolitanization of social relations. Online learning and mobile learning, a qualitatively different type of relationship between teachers and students come to the forefront. A special system of educational mobility is being formed. The author considers some basic tendencies and prospects of these processes, reveals its possibilities and tensions in the context of relationships between global and local.
