Пользуетесь платформой Teachbase — сделайте обучение еще удобнее. Через приложение можно полноценно учиться. Оно заботливо сопроводит вас в процессе: подскажет, что где находится и где вы остановились. Разделы приложения — и что там полезного: Главная. Все важное на одной удобной странице. Горящие напоминания, свежие учебные новости, инфографика твоего прогресса. И кнопка перехода к обучению — сразу туда, где ты остановился. Обучение. Раздел, где хранятся курсы, вебинары, мероприятия и программы. С понятными подсказками: что нужно пройти, когда дедлайн, что уже пройдено. Уведомления. Можно выбрать, какие push-уведомления будешь получать. Например, только про вебинары и тесты. Или настроить молчаливый режим и ходить читать уведомления в раздел, где они хранятся. Новости. Такое мини-медиа про обучение в твоей компании или про образовательную площадку, где проходишь курсы. Документы. К курсам иногда прилагаются материалы, например, инструкции для скачивания. Они будут лежать в этом разделе. Понадобятся — всегда под рукой. Связь с техподдержкой. Будут вопросы по работе приложения или что-то пойдет не так — можно написать в техподдержку прямо из приложения. А она быстро подключится и поможет. Пользоваться просто: скачать приложение и зайти под своими данными, как обычно заходишь на платформу.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stepik at 69% against Teachbase's 24%. Stepik also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Teachbase's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
