Academic Career Office

The e-Learning Centre provides the academic community with an opportunity to use the platform to create and share e-laboratories and lectures in the on-demand system. The e-laboratory environment is personalised for each student, with access without a time limit. The e-learning Centre has a professionally equipped recording studio and a VRLab workroom.

VRLab

The VRLab workroom is equipped with modern virtual reality equipment. Virtual reality solutions allow users to interact with digital objects. Using goggles, controllers, and motion capture sets, the user can move around a generated 3D world.

Gamification

Our students, within the framework of their educational programmes, have an opportunity to take classes with the use of simulation mobile games.

CloudLabs On Demand tool

On Demand is a tool for collecting learning resources and tracking the progress of their assimilation by the student. This is a place where the University can provide paid or free-of-charge lectures, interesting presentations, and records of other events. Lectures or classes in the on-demand form can be heard or taken by the students at any time and in a very favourable form, without compromises compared to classic lectures. The students receive access to video lectures and virtual laboratories. Moreover, the system allows one to create tests, generate certificates of completion, and track the student’s progress in watching lectures.

The University Study-Oriented System (USOS) results from cooperation between the largest Polish universities. The system was created as a result of the need for a comprehensive IT tool for managing university studies.

The primary applications of the USOS include, among other things:

• recruitment for studies and matriculation,
• Electronic Student ID Cards (printing, extending validity, and the like),
• preparation of the educational offer (subjects, classes, groups, dates, teachers),
• management of the course of studies (study programmes of all types and degrees, enrolment for classes, grade reports, credits, etc.),
• student applications,
• diploma theses and exams, electronic archiving of diploma theses,
• grants and scholarships,
• halls of residence
• payments for educational services,
• support for the Bologna Process,
• student apprenticeships,
• surveys,
• reporting,
• employee issues (full-time and part-time employment, workload accounts, and the like),
• Career Office,
• university archive.

In cooperation with the University Study-Oriented System, several websites dedicated to the entire university community are developed, thanks to which the resources of the centralised IT system can be used not only by administration employees.

USOSweb - an online equivalent of the USOS for students and academic teachers, which allows them to settle matters related to the course of studies remotely (https://usosweb.urk.edu.pl/kontroler.php?_action=news/default).

APD /Archive of Diploma Theses/ - the website acts as a catalogue and repository of electronic versions of diploma, engineering, master’s, and doctoral theses and dissertations created at the University.

SRS /Room Booking System/ - a service used to book rooms at the University. It enables the effective management of the use of all teaching rooms at a given university, as well as the costs related to their rental.

UL /University Foreign Language Courses/ - a website that enables registration for classes available to students of all faculties.
