Slovakia E-learning takes first steps - Lukáš Fila, Slovak Spectator staff
Despite facing numerous obstacles and lagging behind the West, e-learning is becoming a sought-after teaching and training method used by both educational institutions and corporations in Slovakia. E-learning is a term used to describe the use of information technologies in the educational process. Insiders cite the main advantages of e-learning as low costs, the ability for students to study at their own pace, objective evaluation of study results and the fact that information can easily be updated. With its advantages, the method is attracting the attention of an ever-increasing clientele. "The e-learning market is growing steadily, both world-wide, and in the Czech and Slovak Republics," said Jan Pejša, director of Kontis, a major Czech provider of e-learning products that also provides its services in Slovakia.
