Objectives: The article aims to discuss educational problems during the period of 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic lockdown in Russia and examines the peculiarities of innovative educational technologies within the modern educational paradigm in the context of teaching under a lockdown pressure. Special attention is paid to analyses of positive and negative aspects of lockdown distance learning, representing the concept of innovative pedagogy as a combined pedagogical approach that offers an alternative to existing teaching methods. The authors consider a lockdown educational experience to be a first step to a new era of educational technologies based on a principle of health safety and proper time management that could be achieved by application of online teaching methods. The authors describe the alternative didactic platforms such as Zoom and WhatsApp; define the term “distance learning” and the phenomenon designated by it. Special attention is paid to the consideration of a number of factors that hinder the introduction of innovative educational technologies and the reform of the educational system as a whole in the context of a lockdown. Methodology: In our research we applied several methods that suit the objectives of the work: Statistical Data collection; Observation; Analysis.
