Summary
Using technology in the educational process is a powerful tool, which may help us build an effective and exciting learning environment. The degree of integration of information-communication technologies (ICT) into the educational process defines the teaching model and teache’s role in the learning process. Learning that covers content and instructional methods delivered via CD-ROM, the Internet or an Intranet as well as audio- and videotape, satellite broadcasting and interactive TV is mostly referred to as e-learning [8, p. 91] Undoubtedly, e-learning possesses a number of advantages, including increased students motivation and engagement, interactivity and personalization [5, p. It lacks face-to-face communication, which is typical for traditional teaching, and doesn’t provide the student with important information channels such as facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and eye contact. An approach which combines advantages of traditional in-class teaching and e-learning is referred to as blended learning
