Interactive tutorials are designed in simple language, with plenty of illustrations and feature questions to test knowledge. The experience of the pilot project proved that this training format is attractive and immersive, and helps adapt the educational process to new realities.

With the updated functionality of the apps, users can make selections, insert notes, copy texts and zoom images. It is also possible to download the application on a computer. In this way, interactive textbooks can be easily and fully integrated into the educational process.

Of course, one can find tons of videos online, but they're often of poor quality. What's important is that all the information is up-to-date and can be promptly updated"
