ABSTRACT

E-learning is one of the ways to eectively use information and communication technologies in education. Elements of e-learning began to be used initially in high schools and aimed to improve the quality of the educational process. Information and communication technologies are used to support the cognitive processes and social and psychological aspects of education. The teacher training is an indispensable factor, but his role is changing now. At the same time, the design of learning materials is changing too. As we already know, suitability of technology can not be assessed separately from the basic strategy approach to their use in the educational process. E-learning technology, we can use as a component of the educational process itself, as an administrative tool and also as a development tool for creating multimedia learning materials. On the market today there are several LMS systems in various price categories that provide these features. Many universities in the Czech Republic and the world have developed their own tools and systems. Some of these systems are also available for free, under some kind of open source license. E-learning has gradually expanded to high school and begin to use it as primary school many years ago. (Hansen, 2000)
