Abstract:

Education is today considered a prerequisite for survival and development of modern societies. The paper presents a concept of a distance learning model used for education of future technical engineers which has been developed for the learning needs in teaching graphic communication. Basic components of the model are described along with a projected scenario for the model implementation: from preparation of the teaching material, program environment for learning process management and work strategy, through implementation of the teaching process itself, to assessment of students and the quality control of the operation of the system. The paper describes all participants and activities involved in the model, as well as the results of its implementation reported so far. Finally, according to the results gained after research, which are here presented, it has been established that the distance learning model in graphic communication teaching has a statistically significant influence on efficiency of the teaching process.
