This chapter presents an elearning solution implemented during school terms of the ITE L. Amabile has established an agreement with the MoMA Centre based on the free use of the Intelligent Web Teacher platform. During this year, three blended courses have been provided for 25 teachers interested to design and supply blended courses. In the second year (2010)(2011) was continued the agreement between the ITE L. Amabile and the MOMA Centre with a commercial contract of fee paying. During this year were provided at pupils some recovery, enhancement blended courses in various disciplines. At the end of these online courses, the teaching team had been proposed a survey. The results of the survey are a useful element of reflection for future choices and developments of this elearning solution.

In the age of information, today's society needs to well-qualified individuals with good education background (Özoğlu, 2010). Because quality of education depends on quality of teacher, all countries in the world have constantly been searching alternative ways on how to train the teachers (Özer, 2008). In fact, such an effort may be more reasonable with idea "the teachers, who principally deploy the teaching and learning process, are even educated" . * This study is a part of Ayşe Aytar's master thesis. a Muammer ÇALIK, Ph.D., is currently an associate professor of chemistry education. He has published more than sixty papers of chemistry and science education in national and international journals and proceedings and actively acts as a reviewer for approximately 15 journals.

The article serves as a summary of one of the parts of the research carried out under the NP-2550 grant in the Department of Education and Media in Education of the Faculty of Pedagogical Sciences at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. The presented analyses concern the application of modern educational tools in the process of education. The work includes a discussion of the frequency, as well as ways, of using ICT devices by early education teachers. It shows the relationship between the presence of modern computer tools in the teaching process and the constructive-cognitive character of activities undertaken in the classroom. The research referred to was carried out among 148 teachers in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province. The analyses presented to the reader are mainly based on the quantitative data obtained on the basis of: knowledge and skills tests, observation, as well as surveys. The research material was supplemented with qualitative data obtained through the conducted interviews.

eLearning has become a phenomenon of the current learning knowledge society. Within our project “Evaluation of eLearning – System Approach” we are looking for the tools which can be used for the system evaluation of eLearning. We would like to find the factors which can influence quality, effectiveness and economics of eLearning. Results of one part of our research are presented in the paper. It deals with the evaluation of eLearning study supports which have been developed for fifty-six study subjects at three technical faculties. The evaluation was made both by pedagogy-psychological professionals and experts in the particular subjects. We used evaluation questionnaire. A series of statistical analyses was made over the obtained data and their results were used as feed-back for improving both the study texts and the evaluation form.

Title Analysis of online climate change games: exploring opportunities Análisis de juegos online de cambio climático: explorando oportunidades Abstract Online games have been proposed as a promising tool for communication and education. Taking into account the new communicative paradigm of youth and that climate change is one of the main threats to their future, this paper presents a checklist of validated indicators through the Delphi method to analyze communicative elements of online climate change games and it illustrates its use and usefulness with a qualitative analysis of a sample of games produced in Spain. This exploratory study maintains that online climate change games are shaping themselves as innovative strategies, thanks to their immersive narrative and interactivity among other features, by facing the communicative and educational challenges regarding climate change: causes are made visible, actions are portrayed as local, uncertainty is avoided, contextualized information is provided with positive and pro-action tone, and a critical thinking approach is encouraged through decision-making. Resumen Los juegos online han sido propuestos como herramientas prometedoras para la comunicación y la educación. Teniendo en cuenta el paradigma comunicativo de los jóvenes y que el cambio climático es una de las principales amenazas en su futuro, este artículo presenta un checklist con indicadores validados a través del método Delphi para analizar los elementos comunicativos de juegos online de cambio climático, e ilustra su uso y utilidad mediante un análisis cualitativo de una muestra de juegos producidos en España. Este estudio exploratorio mantiene que los juegos online sobre cambio climático se perfilan como estrategias innovadoras haciendo frente a desafíos comunicativos y educativos en torno al cambio climático: la causas se hacen visibles, las acciones se presentan en una escala local, la incertidumbre se evita, la información se contextualiza con un tono positivo y proactivo, y el pensamiento crítico se estimula a través de la toma de decisiones.

The eLearning instruments that have been researched in the last few years represent a necessity for the Romanian primary school also within the development of the alternative learning sources. These cognitive instruments as D.H. Jonassen names them, are utilized in the USA and are researched in other countries, too (France) in order to be implemented. The aim of this article is to implement and to recommend the utilization of electronic models: text and image processing sheets, presentation sheets, spreadsheets in the teaching­learning process in primary school. According to this aim, the research hypothesis has been issued in keeping with which we anticipate to be able to offer a well thought training in the eLearning field by updating the teaching and learning process with the help of the implementation of a set of electronic models which will increase the intercepting coefficient, the motivation, stimulation, imagination and enthusiasm degree for the learning actors and will rede...

Textbooks play a very important role in education; their content and practice exercises may have an influence on the students' opportunities to learn. Although many studies have focused on the teachers' use of textbooks, studies on students' textbook use are sparse. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to examine how, when, and why students utilize textbooks for learning mathematics. The data was obtained by combining quantitative and qualitative methods (triangulation of questionnaire results, interviews, and students' diaries). To that purpose, the model of a socio-didactical tetrahedron was used, where the dynamic relationship among textbook, mathematics, teacher and student was observed. The results show that students regularly use the textbook for practice exercises and homework. The social component of textbook use points to: (1) teacher as a mediator between the textbook and students; (2) the important role of the textbook in terms of help at home given by parents or siblings if the student did not understand the subject matter in school. Therefore, the utilization of the textbook is a complex and dynamic process which includes various parameters and participants, not just teachers and students.

The building of eLearning, the Internet has been built. The classrooms, in other words the local Intranet networks equipped with systems of learning organization are being built. The computers -the most modern desks -are ready to welcome students. Multimedia devices providing all the imaginable and unthinkable forms of demonstration, as blackboards and presentation software as boxes of chalk -are available for teachers. Now in this well-equipped building the only questions to be answered are: -Who should be eTaught? -What to eTeach? -Who should eTeach? -How to eTeach? This study tries to answer these questions, and reviews the authors' multimedia curriculum 1 entitled Research & Development in Military Technology.
