An educational project created by the National Open Education Platform Association and offering online courses in basic disciplines studied at Russian universities (Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, MISiS, HSE, MIPT and others).

An important feature: you can not only receive a certificate from the university about completing an online course, but also credit it when studying at the appropriate educational institution. This approach is both a strength and a weakness of the project. On the one hand, all courses meet the requirements of federal state educational standards.
