Current world events influence the shape and way of thinking about education as never before. We are forced to abandon traditional forms of teaching in schools, but the dynamic development of new technologies including digital media can be very helpful. One of PSNC’s proposals within the framework of digital education is the PIONIER Research & Classroom project, which offers specialized educational services in the form of a coherent platform – an educational hub.

eduMEET is an interactive videoconferencing platform based on the WebRTC service, supporting remote communication and teaching processes. During the global coronavirus epidemic, an international team, coordinated by PSNC’s New Media Department, is working within the GÉANT community on the  COVID-19 beta version.

Recent weeks have brought us a significant change in the face of the world we have known so far; no one expected that many aspects of our daily lives will have to be moved to the virtual domain so quickly. We want to share our experience and remain focused on our mission of creating helpful and effective applications of modern technologies.
