Does the term “sustainability” tell you something? As the Future Learn says,

How to measure the success of scholarly research in the Internet era?

With the growth of the Internet, the approach to the popularity assessment of anything, including scientific research, has changed.

Links to articles to Wikipedia, social media, posts on personal blogs, comments on that blog - all this and much more is a performance indicator of success.

Therefore, it became necessary to expand the range of tools for measuring this success. Altmetrics was designed for that purpose.

Altmetrics is a part of the infometrics science. It is working on assessing the amount of bibliographic data. In the period from…

Of course, there’s nothing new about distance learning. This definition dates back to the 18th century Europe when students and teachers communicated by mail.

But, in the spring of 2020, students from all over the world had to leave classrooms and study through special websites. So, you can imagine the scale of this problem.

Now e-learning services come to our rescue. Its work is supported by sophisticated technologies, and assignments are prepared according to the special standards. Also, the website must include relevant features and reproduce an offline learning process, and, maybe, be even better than that.
