| Nowadays, universities are challenged by changing students’ requirements, demanding labor market and fast pace |
| environment. The evolution of communication technology allows us to deal with these prob-lems. Advances in e |
| collaboration are crucial to modern learning process, as it prepares students to work in groups over tasks. In this |
| article we propose comprehensive basis for e collaboration platform which has been developed during successful |
| implementation of e collaboration solution in Department of Man-agement Information Systems at The Poznan |
| University of Economics. The solution utilizes state-of-the-art web portal technology and digital assets |
| management system to provide consistent, common plat-form for system users to work, communicate, and share |
| knowledge. As opposed to e learning solutions, which are designed to provide environment for distant learning, e |
| collaboration aims at sup-porting groupwork, communication, and is rather task oriented. Therefore it is well suited |
| for specific didactic processes in the Department. The implementation took place during two-week summer |
| apprenticeship of 23 students in July 2002. |
