This article presents an educational internet forum, which was a part of the blended learning project the author led throughout the academic year 2011/2012 parallel to the course Introduction to the Cultural Studies at the University of Gdansk. As a result of the project the site http://wiedzaokulturze.wikispaces.com was created by a group of sixty-five Cultural Studies students. Students’ task was to take part in two discussions each semester by sharing their opinion on the topic the teacher proposed. In total they left 260 comments on 20 discussion forums. Each discussion forum was closed two days before the next class, so it prepared for the subsequent discussion. The aim of this article is to demonstrate whether participation in online discussion develops the competence necessary to lead a face to face discussion, the key ability that should be improved by humanistic education. Year-round care of the project helped to make many observations that can be used as a guide for teachers who plan to moderate the educational forum. This paper presents examples of discussion topics, analyzes students’ comments and proposes methods for moderating internet discussion. The experience gained during the project leads to the conclusion that, although the Internet educational forum solves some of the problems of traditional discussion, it generates another ones. The most serious of them result from the separation of time and space and lack of natural interaction. As explained by research results and statistics collected after closing the project, the online discussion is more cool, intellectual and less spontaneous. Because of this fact the educational forum threads should be planned as a preparation for written assignment.

This article presents an educational wiki project the author led throughout the academic year 2011/2012 parallel to the course Introduction to the Cultural Studies at the University of Gdansk. As a result of the project the site http://wiedzaokulturze.wikispaces.com was created by a group of sixty students of Cultural Studies on a free web hosting service Wikispaces. Every week the students shared their opinions about the text they were supposed to read by adding new posts to the site. They also commented on the topics the author had proposed by leaving comments on the discussion forum. The project is already closed, but the site can be a valuable source of knowledge about cultural studies. In this article the author would like to share her teaching experience she gained leading the project.

The traditional format for Power Point presentation slides – a phrase headline supported by a bullet list – has recently been criticized for predictability, vagueness and monotony. These objections seem to be of particular concern in terms of education, especially because of the fact that Power Point has lately become an ubiquitous instructional technology. Currently, the dominant trend in the presentation technology is an alternative design that shows a clear tendency towards domination of the graphics over text. As demonstrated in this article, an alternative method is not fully useful in educational presentations. The aim of this article is to present a method that modifies an alternative design and adapts it to the specific teaching purposes.
