This paper presents interactive communicational elements that can be implemented on an already existing e-learning platform in order to optimize the educational process regarding young students. Thus, several tools have been developed to connect the educational practice to the information technology: information distribution, communication between students, interaction between teacher and students...
This paper examines the engineering education programs provided by SIM University (UniSIM) especially in the teaching, assessment, and learning for working adults. In terms of engineering education, the paper emphasized the changes brought about especially in areas like blended learning, capstone project, continuous assessment, quality control and working with engineering accreditation bodies like...
Even though lot of useful content is available on the Internet that is relevant to engineering courses, the scattered nature of the content being available from different websites, wastage of time in finding the right content, absence of any mechanism that certifies the correctness of the accessed content, different levels of the content on a given topic, too-lengthy non-interactive text content,...
In 2005 an integrated blended e-learning service based on Moodle Learning Management System (LMS), was introduced in Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. Review of LMS content shows that some courses contain insufficient number of components, and in many cases the quality of resources is poor. The goal of our research was to identify why some teachers are reluctant to utilize LMS. A...
This paper presents an approach to informal education of the professionals from electro-mechanical industry. The approach will be developed and tested within E-PRAGMATIC network (E-Learning and Practical Training of Mechatronics and Alternative Technologies in Industrial Community). The network is an association of 13 regular and 3 associated partners from seven European countries and is co-funded...

Implementing e-learning in higher education institutions (HEIs) is influenced by various barriers and drivers. The majority of barriers are related to the challenging issue concerning the integration of e-learning into universities. Hence, it is deemed relevant to understand whether different stakeholders in HEIs tend to embrace or ostracize e-learning for their work. This study investigates the extent...
This paper provides means of improvement on the existing e-learning techniques adopted by NPTEL (National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning) and CDEEP (Centre for Distance Engineering Education Program). Here, a two way model with the name, “Virtual Lecture and Lab Outsourcing Technique” is proposed. The model uses live webcasting and instant messaging as the chief technologies to provide education...
