This article is aimed at unlocking (defining) didactic potential of the means of e-learning to enhance motivation of technical specialties students to master the natural-sciences and mathematical disciplines and acquire a profession. The leading method of the study was activity-based approach which enabled us to analyze the problem from the standpoint of dialogue, subjectivity and individuality. In the process of the experimental work, methodologies and techniques were used that allowed to determine with a sufficient degree of reliability

The article analyzes theoretical aspects of the use of e-learning to motivate university students to acquire natural science knowledge with the subsequent study of vocational disciplines. On the one hand, the article is a methodological basis for the engineering and technical personnel training system; on the other hand, it reveals some methodical issues dealing with the use of modern means of e-learning to increase the level of learning motivation in general.
