THE TEN-YEAR HISTORY OF THE PROCESS OF E-LEARNING IMPLEMENTATION AT CZECH UNIVERSITIES

In the course of last ten years eLearning has become a standard in tertiary education. It is time we considered the whole process, which is not long but has been part of everyday life, and influenced the current way of education at all levels. The article deals with the history of the process at Czech universities. It presents documents which supported establishing eLearning as an inseparable part and form of instruction but even set its role in the process of accreditation of new study programmes; it introduces ways of evaluation of the whole process and single possibilities which eLearning tools offer for teaching various subjects; it provides survey on how eLearning is really used at Czech universities. As the University of Hradec Kralove, mainly the Faculty of Informatics and Management, was the leader in this process, methods used in the process of ICT implementation and ways of evaluation could have been later applied at other Czech and other universities.
