The concept of the development of e-learning courses based on lessons endowed with artificial intelligence features is presented in this article. Proposed generations of lessons front linear lessons to self-adaptive were depicted here. The relation between the results achieved by learners and a generation of lessons has been found. It was observed that the simple machanisms of artificial intelligence implemented in lesson modules allow to accomplish better results in teaching than while using standard methods. Taking into account individual learner's capacity, the necessity of the development and carrying out innovative teaching technology into effect was suggested.
