Remote Teaching and New Testing Method Applied in Higher Education

In this article the e-learning platforms applied in higher education are being looked at. The comparative analysis of certain platforms in respect of their use in a teaching process was made. The analysis was created based on criteria, chosen for the easiest management of the groups of students, easier communication between lecturers and student, as well as for the easy forming of archives and transforming prepared materials in the SCORM/AICC standards. The aim of the article is to facilitate the school management's choice of right systems. This is depending on the needs, as well as pointing out the possibilities of the e-learning platforms. The marking scale presented in the comparison of the platforms clearly confirms that the best platforms are ZSZN. Three systems: Black Board, Mood le and ILIAS, are ranked after ZSZN. Depending on the range of the distance learning systems used, the selection among these three platforms depends on the financial capability of a given higher education institution. Black Board is a system that provides an exhaustive offer in both asynchronous and synchronous e-learning. ILIAS and Moodle are open systems that support many plug-ins relating to functions that we may need. The paper offers a comparison of the functionality of the most popular e-learning systems. The comparative analysis also looks at the ZSZN system that has been designed mainly with universities of technology in mind. On the basis of the comparative analysis results, the university management will be able to choose an optimum e-learning system that is best adapted to cater to both their needs and financial capabilities.
