Summary/Abstract: In the first decade of the 21st century, we have been observing an intense process of "education internetisation", i.e. broader and broader penetration and use of Internet in various phases of the educational process. Education via Internet in Poland becomes more and more popular, and there is strong evidence that popularity of this form of education will systematically grow. In her article, the author presented a comparative analysis of online services connected with education in Poland and the European Union countries. She particularly focused on pointing out to Internet users’ involvement in their own process of online education, inter alia, on seeking by them for information on the education offer, independent communication and learning (participation in e-courses, use of the contents provided by other net users: Wikipedia, blogs, etc.).
