The book "Online Distance Learning Systems: Research, Competence-Based Learning, Project Process, Knowledge Repository Development, Ontological Model of Didactic Materials, Theoretical Game Approach to Motivational and Incentive Modelling, Collaboration Between a Teacher and a Team of Students, and Computer Simulation" is a comprehensive and cutting-edge exploration of the field of online distance learning (ODL). It encompasses a wide range of topics, including research on ODL systems, competence-based learning, the project process based on personal and group competencies, knowledge repository development, an ontological model of didactic materials, a theoretical game approach to motivational and incentive modelling, collaboration between a teacher and a team of students, and computer simulation.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in advancing the understanding and development of ODL. It includes contributions from and is coedited by Prof. Emma Kusztina and Prof. Dr Zenon Gniazdowski, editor of Scientific Notebooks of the Warsaw School of Computer Science, which is located on the list of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

One of the key strengths of this book is its comprehensive coverage of motivation modelling in ODL. It discusses the theoretical foundations and practical applications of motivational models in ODL environments, including the use of game-based approaches, cognitive psychology, and educational theory. The book also explores collaboration modelling in ODL and incentive modelling in ODL, which are crucial aspects of effective ODL practices.

Throughout the book, excellent figures, a glossary, and references to accompany each section provide further insights and support for the readers. The authors have done an excellent job in illustrating the concepts and theories discussed with clear and concise examples, making the book accessible to a wide range of audiences.

In conclusion, "Online Distance Learning Systems: Research, Competence-Based Learning, Project Process, Knowledge Repository Development, Ontological Model of Didactic Materials, Theoretical Game Approach to Motivational and Incentive Modelling, Collaboration Between a Teacher and a Team of Students, and Computer Simulation" is a must-read for anyone interested in ODL. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of the field, covering a wide range of topics and providing valuable insights and perspectives from leading experts in the field.
