THE IDEA OF AN INTEGRATED REMOTE TEACHING SYSTEM (Koncepcja integracji systemów zdalnego nauczania)

The article presents the concept, as well as a prototype of an integrated remote teaching system (ZSZN - from Polish: Zintegrowany System Zdalnego Nauczania). The integrated system incorporates synchronic and asynchronic e-learning systems and the virtual machines system. The concept of the system and the prototype lead to a single central managing system, which is linked to all the components, that use a common interface. It allows creating synchronic e-learning sessions, regulating the time of the session and also generating access codes for a session. Additionally, the lecturer has the possibility to assign access to e-learning resources and to create/manage other user's virtual machines. The article presents basic ideas of the system and its functions. The system integrates different teaching methods. It is perfect for teaching student with disabilities, allowing them to fully participate in the stationary lectures.
