MES is a complex multiproject that includes organizational, methodological, and technological aspects. It involves dozens of government organizations, private companies, and hundreds of people. Today, MES meets the needs of Moscow in terms of electronic services, the scope and uniqueness of the educational content provided.The core of the creation and development of the MES is the Department of Information Technology of Moscow and the Department of Education and Science of Moscow, which carry out large-scale projects in the field of education aimed at comprehensive update of all parts of the educational system and all areas of educational activity in accordance with the requirements of modern life.The unique advantage of the MES platform is that it works using the UGC (user-generated content) principle: both teachers and third-party developers can create and upload educational content. This is a creative self-realization opportunity for teachers developing the content, and this is the opportunity to develop the Edtech industry in conditions of healthy competition for the companies. MES successfully cooperates with companies enriching educational content such as Yandex,Uchi.ru, Yaklass, K-Platform, Skyeng, Umnikum publishers, Rossiyskiy Uchebnik Corporation, Prosveshcheniye Publishers, 1C- publishing, LinguaLeo, Electronic Testing Center, Physicon Lab, Tchaikovsky Foundation, etc.MES is an effective tool for teachers,. The "Electronic Class Register" service allows teachers to plan the content of educational programs and lessons, grade student work, leave comments on grades, monitor academic progress, assign homework, communicate via chat with parents, and much more. MES is an integrated educational environment for students and parents where student can do the tasks, participate in discussions and video calls, use content: video tutorials, tests, game applications, books and textbooks, set goals and improve academic performance.
The aim of MES is to provide comprehensive, fair and good quality education. Over the past 5 years, MES has transformed from a tool for managing classroom learning and a teacher's assistant into an environment focused on the convenience of all participants. MES ensures the provision and exchange of data not only between objects of urban educational infrastructure but also between a range of city information systems and services relating to education, healthcare, culture etc (12 information systems, 11 services in the sphere of education). Analysing the data exchanged between the participants of the city environment facilitates management of the city, education environment and academic progress. This approach makes it possible to manage the quality of education. The information interaction of MES with the main participants of the city information environment helps citizens to solve issues related to enrolling afterschool program clubs, attend educational programs of universities; makes educational content available to people with disabilities, allows to check the attendance of child, monitor nutrition or even see the results of the State Final Examination, and much more. Today, the MES is a key element of the high-tech information educational environment in Moscow with a wide range of services and it is the most important element of building the concept of a "Smart City" in Moscow. The scope of services is constantly being improved and expanded. The key services of MES are: · Electronic Class Register · Electronic School Diary · MES library · “Entrance and food” information system (Moskvyonok) · Admission to educational organizations · Admission to afterschool program clubs · Unified State Exam Information System · Academic Olympiads Service · MES School Diary Mobile App · The MES Library Mobile App
