In the article the author states the phenomenological aspect of use of modern information technologies in higher education, which opens modalities of students’ self-realization (cognitive, communicative, creative, pragmatical, influential, dedicative etc.), describes the personal-focused concept of informatization within two contours-components: subjective and imperative. The first component covers attributive signs of students self-realization over which the corresponding principles of application of infor-mation technologies are built on, these principles form the second imperative component. Such approach gives the chance of more adequate interrelation between technological and personal factors of the modern higher school.
