      Problem statement. Pedagogical Innovations in Swedish Higher Education System are very important. Swedish distant higher education innovation implementation is worth discussing. Timeliness is based on the distant learning implementation and possibilities usages, which electronic teaching gives to today’s youth.   The system of distance higher education complements the existing full-time and part-time training system, not as its analogy. 

The analysis of the research. It is naturally integrated into this system, improving and developing it, contributing to increased integration of various educational institutions and the development of continuous adult education. Due to a mobile information and educational environment the costs per student is approximately two times compared with traditional system of education. Distance learning provides a new level of access to education while maintaining its quality. Distance education is the most promising form of education system in the XXI century. At the same time  the most important tasks of the  distance higher education are :

• increasing social and professional mobility of the population, its business and social activity, level of self-consciousness, expanding horizons;
  human and material potentials of accumulated national school.
 
The main description of the material.

Distance education is valid and relevant. It is the most appropriately and flexibly respond to the educational needs of society.
Educational, social and psychological feedback distance service determines its effectiveness in different regions. 
The role of ICT will become even more prominent in higher education [1]. Traditional communication will be supplemented and often supplanted by new communication.  The young generation is growing up with a new kind of learning, where picture and text are conveyed via modem information technology, which will force universities to plan their education in accordance with the demands made by a new group. The Swedish government in its demands on universities has specified that they must be able to offer programs to new groups of students, which means a pedagogical challenge for traditional academia. Another influential factor contributing to the importance of flexible learning is the pedagogical insights into how different people receive information, process it and transform it into knowledge. Flexible education must be viewed in a larger context than distance courses alone [2]. The question must be asked whether some flexible education elements can be integrated into traditional on-campus programs in order to safeguard and increase their quality and contribute to the optimal use of resources . At present a new development paradigm based on scientific technical progress and economic relations is being formed rapidly in global economy. The correlation between economy growth and innovations, global creation peculiarities and knowledge and technology usage, goods and service exchange produced by new technologies is increased. The quick development of so-called “economy, based on knowledge” or “innovation economy” exists. Industrial property legal protection is performed via sending industrial assets applications from one country to another according to international agreements.

Conclusion. ICT pedagogical innovationadevelopment needs technical and pedagogical support as well as strategic leadership. Technological development has created new possibilities for distance education. Information and communication technology (ICT) can make it possible to connect people to each other and create interplay between people regardless of time, place, regions, and countries. Although distance education and open universities influences higher education. The prevailing pedagogy of traditional teaching has remained largely unchanged although this has started to change. This change in educational conditions, given the technological advancements, has become a significant phenomenon facing the way universities deliver content and the way students receive content. There are multiple motives for Universities to engage in e-Learning.
