E-learning Methodology - IRNet

The theme and the priorities of the
conference reflect the conceptual principles underlying the modernization of
education and the reform of the educational systems in European countries, as
well as national development strategies
for the 21st century. One of the European Union’s key educational objectives
is the provision of equal opportunities
for all with regard to access to learning
and knowledge, regardless the gender,
financial and physical ability, and place
of residence. That is why, distance learning has now been granted a status of
high priority. If introduced on a wide
scale, distance learning and teaching
may make significant contribution to
the achievement of educational goals
in member states.
The Faculty of Ethnology and Sciences of Education at the University of Silesia, Poland has extensive experience in the implementation
of distance learning in other departments across the university. The Faculty’s Distance Learning Platform operates smoothly and continues to expand. The conference is designed to bring together all agents involved in
e-learning – university students, faculty staff, and educators – in order to
explore and share experiences with e-learning and distance learning, both
at home and abroad. The partners and the co-organizers of the previous
editions conference 2009–2013 include the University of Ostrava (Czech
Republic), Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica (Slovak Republic),
Silesian University in Opava (Czech Republic), Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovak Republic), which are also involved
in many activities in the field of e-learning and ICT within the project
E-learning as a road to communicating in the multicultural environment,
supported by International Visegrad Fund (IVF). Among our participants
there wereresearchers and scientists from diff erent countries.
Strengthening and widening international cooperation resulted in
starting another international scientific project IRNet International Research Network for study and development of new tools and methods for advanced pedagogical science in the fi eld of ICT instruments,
e-learning and intercultural competences (www.irnet.us.edu.pl), Project financed by the European Commission under the 7th Framework
