This article addresses the methodological issues encountered in teaching Information Security through distance education. The rapid shift to online learning has presented both opportunities and barriers to effective instruction in security-related disciplines. By analyzing practical experiences, existing pedagogical frameworks, and learner feedback, the study identifies major challenges such as limited interactivity, assessment integrity, and student engagement. Solutions including scenario-based learning, secure remote labs, and instructor-student communication strategies are proposed to overcome these barriers.
