ENHANCING PROACTIVITY OF STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

In this paper authors analyse the process of e-learning with focus on enhancing student learning proactivity through evaluation of learning outcomes. There is a constant need for convergence of learning outcomes with todays and future labour of market needs. Great diversity of today's study programmes are supported by some e-learning platform LMS. Information and knowledge organization are mostly defined by already pre-conceived model of informational structures of particular Learning Management System and often passively followed by the institutions (e.g. Moodle). This research paper focus on strong need for content analysis directed toward a specific objective - encouraging and enhancing proactivity and creativity through e-learning processes. Web 2.0 and semantic web have placed new horizons in connecting e-learning models for great diversity of knowledge but how do we use this webocentric approach doesn’t mean that we have achieved better learning outcomes. This creates new possibilities and difficulties in the capacity of recipient (e.g. digital natives VS digital immigrants in lifelong learning process). In this paper we analyse mediator predictors in the process of acquiring knowledge through its correlations and possibilities of creative approach focusing on how much e-learning process promotes and provides proactivity and creativity of the students and whether these approaches are measurable. Usability and learnability of systems often provide suggestions about how to organize, present and design online instructions. Guided by experience of using several different LMS, authors believe that there is strong need for analysing several factors to achieve learnability and proactivity of students by analysing: visual approach to learning, informational and instructional design and importance of information classification knowledge of the teachers in 2.0 e-learning environments. This paper provides results of conducted research survey (N:310) on higher education bachelors level of College of Business and Management students from Croatia.
