The article is about Russian online schools that issue state-issued certificates to
graduates. The relevance of the study is related to the accelerated process of digitalization of education and the need to improve the quality of human capital. The authors present a methodological model for analyzing the educational capital received by students in online schools. Empirical referents, with the help of which it is possible to identify the structure of educational capital and analyze its most developed elements and deficit zones, are substantiated. It was possible to classify the developed indicators and divide them into six groups.
Among the proposed indicators are academic performance, participation in Olympiads for schoolchildren, family educational capital, knowledge of foreign languages, computer literacy, profile and rating of schools, attendance at extracurricular activities. To understand the transmission of family educational resources, especially in the dynasties of technical specialists, not only the education and profession of the online school student's parents but also the education and professional activities of older generations of the family are taken into account.
The list of referents is made to study the educative capital of online school students but it is also relevant to other groups of students. Indicators can be used in various types of empirical sociological and interdisciplinary research. In general, the methodological model is more suitable for the analysis of reflective technologies: representative polling, standardized questionnaires, focus groups, open-ended questionnaires, biographical interviews and other qualitative sociological methods.
The results of the study are useful for various areas of social policy, as well as for evaluating the digital educational environment and distance learning methods at school.

The objective of this article is to explore how parental status, gender, and their interaction influence a variety of aspects of searching for online health information. Drawing on nationally representative survey data, the results show that in a number of ways parenting and gender have separate but significant influences on the following: online searching behavior, whether the information is used, and feelings about the information obtained. The authors found that although female parents are more likely than male parents to put the health information they have found online into use, parenting and sex have more independent than combined effects. This is particularly the case regarding whether respondents search for information for themselves or others, their feelings about the information found, and the process of finding online health information.
