Purpose: The purpose of the work was to create an educational game to familiarize the user with the methodology of preparing a material sample for light microscopy. The goal of the game is to obtain a correct preparation of the sample, the microstructure of which can be observed under a light microscope. Design/methodology/approach: The game was developed in the Unity environment. All three-dimensional machine models, along with the necessary virtual environment and the gameplay scenario, were created. Findings: Due to the use of virtual reality, it has become possible to teach students how to use preparation devices without the need for the physical presence of students in the laboratory in an attractive and safe way. Failure to play the game will not damage material, or equipment, there is no risk to the user’s health. Practical implications: The game has been developed and is available in the Department of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology. Originality/value: The form of a 3D game used in this study is an interesting alternative to traditional teaching aids. It can be used not only by students but also teachers and other people who want to broaden their knowledge about the functioning and methods of operation of laboratory equipment.

W artykule zostały przedstawione możliwości wykorzystania środowiska programistycznego LabView do tworzenia aplikacji komputerowych wspomagających procesy dydaktyczne z zakresu sterowania ustawieniami kamer PTZ. Kamery PTZ wyposażone są w układy wykonawcze umożliwiające dowolne zmiany ekspozycji rejestrowanego obrazu. Zmiana ustawień umożliwia dopasowanie parametrów rejestrowanego obraz do aktualnych potrzeb użytkownika. Poznanie zasad wewnętrznej komunikacji między elementami systemu CCTV oraz procesów umożliwiających generowanie poleceń i ich interpretacje jest ważnym aspektem szkolenia przyszłych projektantów, wykonawców oraz operatorów. W pracy skupiono szczególną uwagę na funkcjonalność programów i ich użyteczność w procesie dydaktycznym.

The article presents the possibility of using the LabView programming environment to create computer applications supporting the processes of teaching in the field of control of camera PTZ settings. PTZ cameras have control systems to enable arbitrary changes in images exposure. Change of settings allows you to adjust the recording parameters of image to the user's needs. Understanding the principles of internal communication between the components of a CCTV system and processes to generate commands and their interpretation is an important aspect of the training of future designers, contractors and operators. This paper focuses attention on the functionality of the programs and their usefulness in the teaching process.

Purpose: In the present paper the process of preparation and delivery of an on-line course on Total Quality Management has been described. The course was created using various rapid e-learning tools. It has been delivered since 2004 in the Institute of Metal Forming, Quality Engineering and Bioengineering of the Częstochowa University of Technology. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents the impressions and findings from the 6 years of teaching the TQM course with support of on-line tools and techniques. Up till now over 1200 regular, extramural and post-diploma students have taken the course, all of them on a voluntary basis. Open Source Moodle has been used as the Learning Management System. Some remarks on the authoring tools, including rapid e-learning tools, as well as the methodology and didactics of e-learning have been given. Findings: The use of rapid e-learning tools caused a significant decrease in time and workload during the preparation of e-content as well as an increase in their visual and methodological value. Students surveyed in questionnaires clearly indicate the need to use distance learning in the study process. Combining face-to-face and distance learning is called blended learning and the literature recognizes it as the most effective way of study. Research limitations/implications The application of rapid e-learning tools resulted in a shorter time and a smaller amount of work needed for preparation of an e-course. Yet, none of the tools can replace a proper methodological construction of a course. Further research aims at developing a set of good methodological practices for e-teachers. Originality/value: The use of e-learning tools and techniques in the TQM course has made studying more attractive. It also made it available to a greater number of students. Rapid e-learning tools allow teachers to create visually attractive e-materials in a reasonably short period of time and without too much strain on their part.

Purpose: The goal of this work was to develop further the educational platform of the Internet Students Teaching Centre (ISTC) - the e-learning system based on the available state-of-the-art internet technologies (HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL) with the possibility to generate the personalised PDF documents. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents the process of working out the educational materials package in PDF format, generated from the lecture notes (PowerPoint), instruction sheets with test problems (Excel), and knowledge tests (Hot Potatoes). Educational materials are generated dynamically on the e-learning platform, i.e., individually for each student. A detailed example is included-of working out the PDF document format and its automatic generation along with the course student certificate using the PHP scripts. Findings: The efficient method of assisting remotely the e-learning students acquiring skills and knowledge at a varying pace has been developed, providing them with the personalised support. Research limitations/implications: Extensive testing has to be carried on big students groups, more course materials have to be developed and uploaded onto the e-learning platform. Originality /value: Possibility of creating the personalised documents is the first stage in generating the programmed course materials, which - after verifying student's knowledge and determining his or her arrears - are automatically sent to the student, containing more detailed explanations on required topics.

Purpose: ESMOS is a project financially supported by the SOCRATES/Minerva European Commission initiative, which aims to enhance student mobility through online support. The ESMOS partnership has explored existing practice in student mobility support, particularly investigating how technology is being utilised to support students. It has also examined the factors that affect exchange students and has identified problems with meeting student mobility numbers. Design/methodology/approach: The results obtained were used for the development of a methodology for European mobility student support using a web-based approach. This methodology acknowledges different styles of teaching and learning and the difficulties experienced by international students and the academics teaching them in a cross-cultural context. Findings: Support given by the home university could refer to many aspects - from organizational matters through the didactical help, up to psychological support. The following list presents the aspects in question: psychological, organizational, administrative, methodological/didactical, conceptual, technical support. Research limitations/implications: The partners' experiences gathered before and during the project show that the virtual environment (VLE) can be widely used to support students' mobility. Moreover a web page support which includes online registration of applicants is needed. The web page should be backed up by a database. The i-ERASMUS CMS system presented in the paper is the solution proposed by Częstochowa University of Technology (CzUT). Practical implications: i-ERASMUS has been already created and it is now being validated. First group of students applying for the Socrates exchange is registering through it. First observations seems to be optimistic. Originality/value: The i-ERASMUS CMS system is the solution developed by Częstochowa University of Technology (CzUT).
