E-learning is becoming a very popular form of information gain and teachers competencies development considering large amount of responsibilities, performed by a teacher and taking into account the rapid development of information and communication technologies.

It should be noted that 57,1% of the interviewed teachers indicated that they use e-learning in scientific and didactic, research and organizational activities and 42,9% of teachers use e-learning as students receiving new information, new knowledge and improving professional competence. The same key figures were obtained asking questions about the use of information and communication technologies by teachers during classes: 57,1% of teachers answered that they used it if necessary, 42,9% of teachers reported the answer "yes", no one chose the answer "no".

This regards to the fact that this form of education saves time, money, suggests various forms and ways of competences development, allows studying on the job. Both lecturers and students of higher education institutions of the Republic of Poland note that self-management will be considered in the form of e-learning in the future as professional development
