Abstract


With this paper the author will present about E-learning, that is more and more involved in everyday lives and in schools, colleges etc. It means using computer technology in order to give and receive information. If we think about E-learning, the changes that are happening are inevitable in this world where technology has pervaded in every aspect of our lives. Opinions about E-learning are divided but it is for sure that it has brought big improvement in the way we learn. Now everything is faster and we can see the result of our test in every moment weather we are in bus, on a trip or in a plane. For this paper the author has decided to see the differences in using E-learning between students of two countries, Croatia and Slovenia. Author has used three methods of getting results for this research:  Likert's scale, yes and no questions and one open question for short personal opinion. The investigation went into depth so author took some of the most interesting results that highlight the theme of this paper. The results were collected within 60 students of which are 30 from Croatia and 30 from Slovenia. Most of the answers were given by females, 65%. When it comes to being informed about E-learning, only 5 people said that they are not familiar with this. Most of student are happy with their current experience regarding E-learning, only 10 people said they have bad experience. As it was already stated, that E-learning has brought improvement in school system, students from both countries agree – 80% of them. The question that received almost 100% of agreement was about being able to access data through E-learning in every moment, so we can see that students are happy about this possibility. In the last opened type question, opinions about E-learning were surprisingly positive so most of the examinees had good things to say about the concept of E-learning, and they especially highlighted the accessibility of information and materials online. This research has shown that there is still some chance for improvement and informing students about E-learning but it has surely helped them reach their educational goals.
