There are many online learning platforms available to today’s students. Free courses, webinars, reference books, online tests, ready-made homework, planners, calculators and other services make the educational process more comfortable and efficient. We offer an overview of the best Ukrainian and foreign platforms that will be useful for school, bring valuable experience and new knowledge.

National education platforms

State educational application “Mriya”

An important event in 2024 was the release of the beta version of the first state educational app for secondary schools, Mriya. The platform was created under the auspices of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, with 60 developers working on the project throughout the year. It is planned to involve 10,000 schools in testing the platform. The main goal is to provide users with comprehensive solutions, change the fundamental approach to the organization of the educational process, and subsequently contribute to the development of educational reforms.

The application has separate interfaces for all participants in the educational process – students, teachers and parents. The platform has a wide range of functions: an electronic journal, a diary with grades and homework, a digital student card, a glider, a content library, online chats, and an after-school section. The developers have taken care of confidentiality – all data is stored in a secure state register of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The Mriya app will remain free for all users.

All-Ukrainian School Online Platform

In 2020, All-Ukrainian School Online, a national platform for organizing distance and blended learning, was launched. The service was relevant during the pandemic and gained popularity after the full-scale invasion, when many Ukrainian schools switched to remote operation. The platform allows to organize distance learning in virtual classrooms and provides free access to thousands of educational materials, video tutorials, tests and homework for grades 5-11 in all school subjects. The content fully complies with the requirements of state educational programs, as it was created by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The service is available both on the web platform and as an educational mobile application.

NMT Preparation Courses and Tests

iLearn – prepare for NMT for free

The iLearn platform is a free, open online resource for effective NMT preparation. The project was created for students in grades 10-11 who are preparing for the entrance exams and need high quality educational and control materials. The platform offers free webinars, video courses, tests and simulators for NMT-2025 and previous years’ EITs in all subjects. The structure and functionality of the iLearn platform is designed to allow a candidate to prepare for the NMT without the assistance of a tutor. This powerful service, initiated by the Osvitoria Public Union, has been recognized by experts in several international competitions. The training materials are prepared with the participation of professional teachers who have experience in preparing for the Multisubject Test and External Independent Examination. The authors emphasize the social significance of the project: “iLearn aims to make effective professional preparation for the NMT accessible to every student, regardless of their place of residence, living conditions or financial means.

“EIT Online” – Training tests from previous years in preparation for NMT

The large educational resource Osvita.ua has launched a special platform for taking tests called “EIT Online”. The site contains all test options from the main and additional sessions of the EIT of previous years, as well as trial and demonstration tests. Since external independent tests and modern NMT are based on the same principles, such training tests are in great demand among applicants and have a good effect. The database also includes national multitests NMT-2024 in all subjects and several training tests in preparation for NMT-2025. After passing the tests on the ZNO online platform, the student sees the correct answers and receives an automatically calculated result in evaluation points on a standard 200-point scale.

Green Country – Courses to prepare for NMT

Green Country is a leading English language school for children and teenagers, offering innovative and interactive teaching methods. The school offers a wide range of offline and online courses, including specialized programs for NMT preparation. Green Country’s NMT English courses are designed to ensure that students not only learn the necessary grammar and vocabulary, but also acquire the practical skills needed to pass the exam. The training process uses the modern online platform MyGC, which allows both students and their parents to track their learning progress.

Useful services for students

GPD – Finished homework

12baliv and Vshkole are popular free online services with ready-made homework solutions for all school subjects from grades 1 to 11. The sites are similar in functionality – each site has a simple interface and convenient structure. A student can choose a grade, find the subject, specify a textbook, and get a ready-made solution with an answer. Solutions are approved by specialists and new textbooks are dynamically added to the database. GPZ services are popular not only among those who want to cheat on their homework. Ready-made homework helps to check the correctness of the work done independently, analyze the progress of the solution, check the answers and prepare for the test.

Where to download online textbooks

The GDZ4YOU platform offers ready-made homework for all school subjects based on various textbooks of the current educational program. But this is not the only useful functionality of the service – the site contains a database of school textbooks that can be downloaded free of charge in PDF format or viewed online. Students have access to author’s presentations on various subjects and creative works on Ukrainian and world literature. You can also download electronic textbooks online using the School Textbooks of Ukraine mobile application. The application has a user-friendly interface, provides quick access to downloaded materials, and allows reading without access to the Internet. The database contains all modern textbooks for Ukrainian educational institutions for grades 1-11.

Photomath Camera Calculator

Photomath is very popular among students because it allows them to solve math problems quickly. Just point the camera at the equation and the program will provide a solution with step-by-step explanations and an answer. This is the minimum functionality available in the free version. A paid plan with an annual or monthly subscription provides more opportunities to learn and deepen your math skills. A paid subscription of $9.99 per month allows you to receive individualized tutorials, additional tips, and more detailed explanations.

There is a lot of competition among learning platforms, but every quality service finds its audience. Services that increase learning efficiency, simplify routine processes, free up time for development and creativity, and provide free access to unique educational materials will not go unnoticed by users.
