On September 30, 2024, the Department of Accounting and Taxation of Lviv National Environmental University opened a distance education laboratory, which was created within the framework of the international Erasmus+ K2 DEFEP project – 01083143 “Distance Education for Future: best EU practices in response to the requests of modern higher education seekers and labor market”. The laboratory is equipped with an interactive Smart kit, a laptop, two webcams, a microphone, a LED lamp and other peripheral devices for recording and conducting online classes.

The newly created laboratory will facilitate the introduction of distance education as a separate form of education at the university, improve communication with students, enhance the quality of educational content and the professional competencies of teachers in recording and conducting online classes. This laboratory will be an important step towards integrating modern technologies into the educational process, improving the quality of education and creating conditions for innovative research at Lviv National University of Environmental Management.

The DEFEP project team invites teachers interested in developing distance education to use the laboratory to create video content for lectures, e-learning courses, and online classes.
