Ministry of Science recommendations regarding distance education

17.03.2020

In connection with the need to switch to universities for remote forms of education for students and doctoral students in order to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education is recommending:

The use of university infrastructure and competences by using the existing tools at these universities to transfer knowledge, teaching materials and specialists comments remotely.

The use of online communication platforms available at universities (webinars, videoconferences, virtual meeting rooms, etc.) to replace classes traditionally held in the form of a lecture or seminar.
Involvement of support structures existing at universities in creating educational e-resources to provide help and consultation to units that do not have much experience in this field.

Analysing e-resources owned by universities and open access to selected online courses and e-materials that can show good practices in creating remote educational materials.

In the case of sharing courses and open e-resources, it is preferable to indicate licenses in a simple way (e.g. https://creativecommons.pl/wybierz-licencje/), which will allow to use other materials in accordance with the principles of copyright.

The use of the platform www.navoica.pl, which is owned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. This tool allows scholars to create and post online courses and teaching materials. Detailed information and assistance can be obtained by sending a message to navoica@opi.org.pl.
