DLCC 2016 – Report from a Scientific Conference in Cieszyn/Ustroń, Poland, 2016
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in E-learning - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The subject matter and the priorities of the conference reflect the conceptual principles underlying the modernisation of education and the reform of the educational systems in European countries, as well as national development strategies for the 21st century. One of the European Union’s key educational objectives is the provision of equal opportunities for all with respect to an access to learning and knowledge, regardless of gender, financial and physical ability, and place of residence. Consequently, distance learning has now been granted a status of high priority. If introduced on a wide scale, distance learning and teaching may make a significant contribution towards the achievement of educational goals in member states.
