According to formations Softline Sergey Terletsky, the head of the system department in the department, the issue of compatibility with Linux can be resolved by creating a web version of the application - in this case, it is enough for schools to have a good one - in WiFiInternet classes. The expert noted that there is already an example of a compatible application of the LECTA educational platform from the Russian Textbook Publishing House.
The publishing house "Enlightenment" told the newspaper that they comply with all the requirements of regulators, including those that oblige to ensure the operation of electronic textbooks on three operating systems, including two mobile ones.
