Remote classes

In academic year 2020/2021 at the University of Silesia you will learn in the mixed (hybrid) system. The mixed system consists in carrying out part of classes using distance learning methods and techniques, and part of classes on-site.

Classes, which cannot be conducted on-site due to the currently effective restrictions, will be carried out with the use of distance learning methods and techniques. In particular, this applies to:

  1. lectures,
  2. modern language courses,
  3. computer laboratories,
  4. practical classes,
  5. tutorials,
  6. proseminars,
  7. seminars,
  8. tutoring classes.

Physical education classes will be carried out in the hybrid form: 10 hours (5 classes) of physical education will be conducted in the premises of the University of Silesia, 10 hours (2 or 3 meetings) will be conducted outdoors and the remaining 10 hours in the remote form.

You can find the information whether particular classes will be conducted on-site or remotely in the schedule of classes available on the University’s websites.

Forms of remote classes:

  1. synchronous – classes take place in real time based on audio-video or audio contact between you and the teacher;
