In my presentation I will describe effective teaching methods related to journalism and public relations studies. It is necessary to apply new teaching methods that would attract students attention, as well as systematic training lecturers on new teaching methods. The use of many free web applications, learning through play, using crosswords, quizzes for learning vocabulary makes learning enjoyable and effective. The article will present specific methods of working with students, which I use in courses, lectures. I will show the use of Open Sources and concrete results that can be achieved by remote working. I will describe and present the benefits of teaching through free e-learning pathways as well as web-based applications, social media which significantly enhance classes and save time (without detriment to teaching effectiveness). I will show the concrete effects of the classes, and I will present methods of stress-free assessment and verification of knowledge. I will present in practice (effective of use) specific Open Sources such as: Google Cultural Institutes, Pixbay, Wikipedia. The presentation of the Open Resources will enrich the examples of their use in specific types of classes. The presentation will be supplemented by current literature on e-learning and innovative teaching methods (both English and Polish).
