| Description | For Masaryk University, which houses nine faculties attended by more than thirty-eight thousand students, e-learning currently represents an indispensable teaching tool. However, designing e-learning applications covering most fields and specializations as well as preparing the conditions in which these will represent an asset rather than a hindrance even for IT laymen is by no means an easy task to solve. The major factor affecting the form the e-learning applications had in the past was a group of devoted developers whose products were of limited coverage as regards the number of students using these. While this small-scale development may work for a small school, a large university requires that a more sophisticated infrastructure in terms of technology, methodology, and personnel be deployed. Masaryk University has given rise to new and unique projects that have proved fruitful and that can be put into operation in both small and large universities. |
