Paper
Teaching of material science matters using e-learning techniques
Abstract
Purpose: The paper presents the usage of educational e-learning system introduced in Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials. The available activates and possibilities of introducing e-learning methods in teaching of materials science matters such as Fundamentals of Materials Science were presented. Novel instruments in elearning system like virtual laboratories were also presented. Design/methodology/approach: Utilization of e-learning system in materials science teaching was presented. Presented e-learning platform was elaborated as a modern distance education tool and contains didactic materials used for lectures and materials science classes. The paper contains the description of learning within the mixed mode. The use possibilities of the virtual laboratory were presented. Findings: Utilization of e-learning techniques in teaching of materials science matters seems to be very promising when introduced to high education level but continues improvements of applied instruments must be performed. Research limitations/implications: Larger population of students should be tested so as to give measurable results, which would imply what needs to be worked on and what changes to introduce in order to improve the
