Five years after the adoption of the Act on Higher Education and Science (PSWN Act), it is clearly visible that scientific activity dominates, the results of which in the evaluation process allow for the obtaining a scientific category (on appropriately high categories depend, inter alia, the right to grant degrees, but also the right to establish new study programmes). While the results of the evaluation of the quality of scientific activity influence the teaching activity of higher education institutions, such a reverse relationship has been observed very rarely.
The pragmatics of a higher education institution’s activity shows that the group of academic teachers conducting only teaching activity is being limited; the rational action of university authorities is to favour those employees who combine teaching and research activity, and thus the results of their research activity are taken into account in the evaluation process.
Since the discussion at the National Science Congress, methods for valuing teaching professionals have not been developed. The Minister’s programmes such as Champions of Didactics ( https://www.gov.pl/web/edukacja-i-nauka/informacje-o-programie-mistrzowie-dydaktyki) are merely an attempt to recognize the problem and systemic solutions are lacking.
In the context of the teaching activity of universities, there have also been ideas put forward that contradict the accepted principles of the 2018 reform.

The title of the presented works of the Department of New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice refers to the concepts of the Canadian media theorist and researcher Marshall McLuhan, who was a visionary and predicted the development of technology in the coming decades. The concepts he incorporated in such works as “The Medium Is the Message” and “Understanding Media: the Extensions on Man,” accurately predicted the processes that govern the modern world. One of the concept takes form of the meta-cultural statement that the world we create around us depends on the means by which we transmit information. Hence, it is extremely important that in the process of creating works as well as in education, students should have an awareness of the purposefulness of the means used.
One of the essential distinguishing features of new-media and interactive works is time. The English name time-based media describes very well media works that use the timeline. Very often it is time that builds the narrative, tensions, and climaxes. Understanding the concept of time, using it as an element in the construction of the work (non-linear, based on time loops, nested, rhizome type, etc.) seems to be as crucial to the creative process as the ability to build a clear concept of the work and produce it with a variety of hardware, software or computer codes.
To understand time in new media art, it is crucial to refer to the principles of narratology. It turns out that every static work of art has its own hidden internal narrative, but only moving media have made artists and designers aware of the importance of time for movement in the frame, in interactive, immersive, virtual space when building their connections and messages (codes) for the viewer.
The student artworks of the Multimedia Activities Studio and Animation Studio from the New Media Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, selected for the exhibition, are an excellent example of creative-design processes and the search for new forms of communication with the viewer in the 21st century.
