Abstract

Nowadays electronic form of teaching is proclaimed to be an imperative mainly for tertiary level of education. On the other hand many research results show that higher efficiency of education is achieved by the use of blended learning. The paper presents experiences and research results of the authors related to the use of e-learning as supporting tool to traditional forms of education at higher education institutions to eliminate study problems of students coming to universities from different types of secondary schools. To help the students of the bachelor study programme Occupational Health and Safety to cope with their study problems in relation to the compulsory subject Machines and machine elements they created an electronic course offering the students a possibility to acquire eventual missing knowledge necessary to pass the practical exercises included in the subject. As the teacher experiences and research data of the designed e-course verification show, students given at disposal this e-course as a learning assistance tool have no serious problems to do the practical assignments they are expected to fulfil during the lessons.
