Better Online? Efficiency of E-learning Courses

Abstract

The Z generation, which makes up most of the university's students, is already living on the Internet. They shop, live their social life online and their daily tasks are also managed through the net, so it is likely that web learning is preferred over traditional classroom courses. E-learning courses can be a solution, because their purpose is to improve the quality of the learning and teaching. They have many advantages for example allowing information exchange between points that are far from each other, eliminating tempo constraints and students being able to learn the subject at an individual pace and method. The University of Obuda consider it as an objective to advertise many e-learning courses in line with student’s needs. Unfortunately, in many cases they are not correspond to the expectations, mainly because there is no unified expectation. The main purpose of my research is to inspect the completed courses and to prepare an integrated rating system. Asking students what they are making up for such courses and comparing them to the already finished ones, suggesting a review of them, resulting e-learning courses that can help to prepare successfully. At present, the first phase of research is taking place, in which, based on the literature, I ask a focus group from the students of the university about e-learning courses, resulting a system of basic rating criteria.
