Russian market
In Russia nowadays e-learning is on the
primary stage. First Russian projects,
Learnic and Eduson, appeared in
2012-2013. They aggregate and produce
business courses.
The market also represents different
educational video-content without any
additional training functions.
There is no any integrated solution for
online education in Russia at the
moment.

Narrow format providing
information
Existing educational resources offer
video courses with simple interactive
modules (tests).
We'll provide a wide range of training
tools, including interactive games,
chat with a teacher, the availability of
library materials. !
An integrated approach will allow online
learning products created with EduToday
become great way to gain and improve
knowledge.

Educational platforms bear
closed nature
Peer learning is one of educational
trends.

universities programs, EduToday
intends to give everyone the
opportunity to create their own
learning product.
Both a school teacher wishing to
broadcast his lessons online and an
expert having unique experience in his
field, will be able freely share their
knowledge.
