Utilizarea tehnologiei și internetului în învățământul universitar

Abstract

In this study we focused on a topical field, eLearning – understood as training with the help of the Internet and technology. In e-Learning it is necessary to train digital competence, depending on the specifics of student training, because there are advantages and, also, difficulties encountered. The digital competence consists in the confident and critical use of the entire range of information and communication technologies for: information, communication and problem solving in all areas of life, being necessary for both categories of actors involved in teaching – teachers and students. The application to students showed us the need to modernize the educational offer, from rethinking courses to making available material resources and also the need to develop other competencies. In most cases, e-learning helps to improve the results of the educational process, but this contribution depends on the field of study of the students, and, sometimes, there are a number of failures, regarding the quality of the activity performed. This virtual resource can train a superficial learning, by focusing on the elements of presentation and not on the meanings, by the uncertainty of the data, by the “tacit borrowing of ideas”, etc., therefore, is required informational-methodological competence.
