The article is dedicated to the development of a universal methodology for assessing the quality of modern educational platforms. In the global digitalization of education, there is a growing need for a systematic approach to analyzing the effectiveness, accessibility, and user experience of learning platforms. The authors propose a methodology that considers eight key criteria: accessibility and inclusivity, usability and interface design, user interaction and engagement, user support and feedback, payment, adaptability to individual learning pace, multilanguage and localization, and certification. The research methodology combines quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, ensuring a comprehensive and objective assessment. A distinctive feature of the proposed approach is the use of the analytic hierarchy process to determine the weight coefficients of the criteria, enhancing scientific validity. An important aspect of the study is its focus on the needs of various user categories, particularly persons with disabilities, which makes the methodology inclusive. The article explores tools and approaches for evaluating existing platforms based on the proposed criteria and methodology, which holds practical value for developers and administrators of educational environments. The research findings will be useful to a wide range of professionals: developers of educational platforms, researchers in the field of digital transformation of education, educators, and institutional leaders. The proposed methodology can serve as a foundation for developing quality standards for digital educational resources and will contribute to the advancement of a modern academic environment accessible to all users. The article emphasizes the importance of the continuous improvement of educational platforms in response to the dynamic development of digital technologies and society’s evolving needs.
