Abstract: We consider queuing systems as models of distance learning system we analyze how characteristics of business process in the system affect on throughput and on learning outcomes. The processes of executing tasks and tasks validation process are the key processes in the distance learning. A model of the process performed by a student is a queuing system with refusals. A model of the process performed by the teacher is a multi-channel queuing system with limited queue. We present a structure of one of the courses of the University, where the authors work to form individual trajectory of learning. for students with different levels of knowledge. Such an approach allow to increase the throughput of distance learning system.
