Abstract

This article presents the latest developments of ICT technologies in higher education in the world, as well as a forecast for the coming years. Some of these ideas are present in rudimentary form in Poland, but most of them are currently not applied. Characteristic feature is the lack of recognition of the latest ICT technologies in Poland. The systems of distance learning are one of the most important challenges of Polish higher education. The authors discuss trends in ICT in higher education undertaken by leading academic centers around the world including: mobile learning, internet of things, augmented reality and open-source learning. Authors use case-studies  methodology in order to describe the implementation of innovative practices of ICT with practical applications for Polish universities. The authors also introduce own concept of the university twenty-first century, so-called. “brokering university” - a new non-existent form of higher educational institution.

Keywords:

mobile learning, augmented reality, ICT, open-source learning, MOOCs, internet of things, brokering university
