Abstract

E-learning can take various forms and be realized via use of many different tools, applications or software. The selection of software should be rooted in a detailed analysis of capabilities and needs of all entities involved in the process of education (students, teachers and institutions responsible for education). It also should fulfil the need for bilateral communication - remote education environment should be prepared to support a real dialogue or polylogue and contain an array of tools for communication, both synchronous (videoconference, chat, virtual whiteboard) and asynchronous (forum, blog, e-mail). This article attempts to analyze the process of e-learning and its realization in perspective of communication between pupils/students and teacher.
