The Jagiellonian University Centre for Distance Learning is a university-wide unit whose role is to promote academic e-learning, to support new teaching methods and strategies and to offer assitance to university teachers in developing Internet-based classes and running them.

The Centre focuses on:

• offering workshops on Internet-based classes and courses
• offering help and advice on using JU e-learning facilities
• developing online resources related to e-learning (free e-documents, EU funds, conferences)

One of the Centre's objectives is to promote blended learning and to develop theoretical grounds for e-learning. The Centre has been active in many Polish and foreign academic and corporate e-learning communities. The Centre's staff has developed the Jagiellonian University Compendium of e-Education, which is an online lexicon of various didactic, technical and organizational aspects of e-learning.
