In ultimii 30 de ani de formare sincrona au fost puse la dispozitie  cursuri interactive video. Toate...

Referat E-Learning

Premizele crearii societatii informationale au fost asigurate prin producerea masiva si raspandirea vertiginoasa a calculatoarelor electronice, care a permis individului, organizatiei, natiunii si societatii in ansamblu prelucrarea unui volum din ce in ce mai mare de date intr-un interval de timp din ce in ce mai redus si intr-un spatiu deschis.     Concomitent cu cresterea vitezei de prelucrare a datelor si a capacitatii de stocare a acestora, calculatoarele electronice au de...

LEARNING IN ROMANIA

Romanians place a high value on education. Families are willing to spend money on the education of their children. Romanians trace their educational tradition back to Transylvanian confessional schools and Moldavian and Wallachian princely academies in the 17th century. Monasteries ran schools as early as the 15th century. The first printed works were traced back to this time. Organized education was established in the 1800s. The first Communist educational reform abolished all private schools ...
