Multifaceted integration of e-learning with the practices in higher education – a case study of University of Houston-Downtown

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to evaluate the integration of different forms of e-learning that would support the realization ofeducational processes at the University of Gdańsk (UG). Research was performed as a case study at the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) so as to transfer best practices to UG. Data come from direct observation and in-depth, structured interviews.The data obtained indicated the conditions for the use of e-learning such as: forms, areas, technologies, methods of realization,gained benefits and challenges. Study indicated that implementation of e-learning at UG in the areas of blended learning, fullye-learning classes and external video-conferencing would be promising (there is little if any need for internal videoconferencingat UG). Fully e-learning programmes are not allowed by Polish educational law, so is extensive use of tutors (trained best studentsfrom previous years). Implementation of multifaceted e-learning at UG, similar to the one at UHD would require grantingsignificant budget and, more importantly, establishing Centre for Teaching and Learning supporting development of technicaland methodological skills of e-teaching faculty.
