The University of Gdańsk has achieved significant success in the competition organised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as part of the project ‘Support for teaching processes through the NAVOICA platform’. Three projects prepared by teams of researchers from various departments of the university received funding for the development of modern MOOC educational courses, which will be made available to a wide audience.
The implementation of these projects is an important step in adapting the teaching offer of the University of Gdańsk to the dynamically changing needs of the economy and the challenges associated with green and digital transformation. As part of the measures taken, modern, open MOOC e-learning courses will be created, which will be made available on the nationwide NAVOICA platform and can be used in the education process at first and second cycle studies and uniform master's studies. The projects will contribute to increasing the availability of high-quality educational content and strengthening the role of the University of Gdańsk as a centre for creating innovative teaching solutions that respond to current socio-economic needs.
