Digital tools for video conferences, lectures, consultations

Videoconferencing tools in higher education are used not only for teaching, but also for a wide range of other activities that support academic work and community life. In addition to lectures and seminars, they play an important role in consultations, where teachers provide students with individual or group support without the need to physically come to the faculty. This is especially important for part-time students or those who live far from the university.

Videoconferencing has also proven useful for oral exams, as it allows teachers to test knowledge in real time with interaction and verification of student identity. It is also very often used for the defense of final, graduate and doctoral theses, where the defense also involves committee members from different cities or countries.

In administrative and scientific terms, these tools facilitate meetings of departments, sections and faculty councils, saving time and reducing costs. In research work, they enable project meetings between domestic and international partners, which is a key element within European and other international projects.

Videoconferencing is also used for workshops, roundtables, and expert meetings, broadening access to knowledge and increasing the number of participants. In addition, students can engage in group projects, where digital tools facilitate collaboration, coordination, and joint production of materials.
