Due to the coronavirus pandemic, universities were faced with a difficult challenge: on the one hand, providing students with remote classes of the highest quality, and at the same time providing lecturers with the best possible conditions for conducting online classes.

This challenge is further complicated by the fact that distance learning will continue for a longer period of time. According to the latest recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, classes and examinations at Polish universities will be carried out remotely until at least the end of the current academic year.
