Contemporary education systems increasingly rely on digital formats to make teaching, knowledge reinforcement, assessment, and professional development more efficient. In this setting, the software products being developed (platforms, web applications, mobile apps, online testing systems, etc.) can radically transform the teaching process. However, merely creating a piece of software is insufficient to achieve genuine impact – it also needs to be sensibly integrated into the learning environment and implemented in accordance with sound didactic methodology. Equally relevant are questions about how commonly used tools such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) or online testing platforms work in practice and what technical and methodological requirements they must meet.
