Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of Internet sites of educational organizations. An attempt is made to qualify educational sites and consider their features. The originality of educational sites is due to the use of several genres within one platform (journalistic, scientific, PR-genres, advertising, etc.). This, in the author's opinion, distinguishes the discourse of an educational website from other types of computer-mediated communication.
Websites of educational organizations in addition to genre originality, have a number of features that are caused by both the technical capabilities of the site and its interactivity, and the peculiarities of the perception of information by the audience.
