E-learning
Elearning is a system for managing the flow of education/knowledge that allows not only to sell knowledge, but also to share it and monitor its development and to get feedback on its effectiveness. E-learning represents the following functions: electronic processing of information, transfer of information using ICT to students, provision of services to students (e-service), distribution of products and services (DVD, Internet, etc.), management of the educational process (course administration). B.Sc. the MLD study program is accredited for face-to-face teaching in full-time and external form, with the possible use of the University LMS MOODLE - managed at the Institute of Computing Technology, providing services to the faculties as well, plus the Faculty LMS MOODLE - managed by individual departments of the faculties, also for e-learning, according to needs students to achieve educational outcomes and TUKE management instructions, or faculties for the organization of education, e.g. in crisis situations (emergency situation, state of emergency, etc.). E-learning allows the use of most of the available information and communication tools, with which we can not only present the curriculum, but also verify and test the course of the learning process. Great importance is attached to the inclusion of feedback elements in the form of various polls, polls, tests and questionnaires checking the understanding and mastery of the subject matter. The own teaching text can be graphically structured, it can contain multimedia, i.e. audio and video files, problem tasks, solved and unsolved examples, self-tests, etc. LMS (Learning Management System) approaches, manuals, are for register
