The project was the reaction to the COVID-19 restrictive period, where we had to design online lessons with the materials for online learning. This was quite difficult, and not all the teachers could cope properly with the situation, so we created DIGI SCHOOL. There was the utter need to build up something universal not only for online learning but for regular learning as well. Furthermore, we needed to create something sustainable, universal, new, engaging and adjust the materials to the school curricula. Speaking of students ad teachers, there was a profound necessity to aid teachers and students in proactive, up-to-date education. The main aim was to develop and implement comprehensive digital tools and methods into the educational praxis due to the COVID-19 period. We have created and developed the tools, materials, video tutorials, and pdf downloadable files in different subjects used for online learning and for the self-study of students and regular lessons. We can declare that DIGI SCHOOl is the universal platform in 14 subjects and three foreign languages designed to be user-friendly for online, regular, and self-study education.
