The author presents a multi-component practical study of a new type of electronic educational environment on the example of the author’s cross-platform project Langteach-online, aimed at teaching foreign students Russian. A new type of e-learning environment will allow you to create online courses without the use of Western learning management systems, such as LMS Moodle, Schoology, and others with the integration of mobile devices that are trained in the learning process in mixed and distance formats. The methodology of this study will allow creating multidisciplinary online courses for teachers without special training in information technology and programming, which is especially relevant in the context of the Covid‑19 pandemic. Russian cross-platform project Langteach-online is used in teaching foreign citizens Russian at the bachelor’s and master’s levels in a number of higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation in order to form a creative professional personality of a foreign graduate. The multi-format of organized tasks and materials (text, video, audio, graphics, presentations) allows us to talk about the possibility of using cross-platform projects of this type not only for teaching practical courses in foreign languages and RFL, but also other disciplines that are taught in schools and higher educational institutions. Training based on this model can be carried out both in blended and distant formats. The system of technical and methodological organization of a cross-platform project has the flexibility to use it inside the personal web resource of a teacher or educational institution.

The study is an overview of technical solutions of domestic software for use by teachers of humanities disciplines. The author substantiates the assumptions on the development strategy of domestic Internet tools for the organization of distance and blended learning based on research, surveys and documents of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications, and the Ministry of Higher Education and Science of the Russian Federation. The relevance of this study is confirmed by the interest of the pedagogical community in affordable modern domestic solutions that can become full-fledged alternatives to Western programs in the face of sanctions. The paper analyzes the content of the Eurasian and Russian software registries to identify the number of domestic solutions in the field of linguistics and pedagogy. The most popular videoconferencing and learning management systems among domestic developments have been identified, which will be able to replace Western solutions in the domestic IT market in the near future. The paper provides a detailed description of the functionality of the following domestic developments: «Yandex.Teleconference», «Vkontakte calls», «Calls Mail.ru» and other resources. At the same time, the work reflects the opinions of users of these systems: school teachers, university teachers, students and schoolchildren. The advantages and disadvantages of existing programs are noted. A comparative analysis of technical solutions is presented as the results of the study. This analysis will make it possible in the future to determine the prospects for the modernization of domestic solutions in order to improve them and make them more popular among educational organizations in the territory of the Russian Federation. .
