Abstract (2. Language):
The accelerated development of the information and communication technologies
determined universities, companies and educational institutions to implement
alternatives to the traditional teaching methods, thereby leading to the development of
e-courses. New Information and Communication Technologies mediating learning
represent an important component of education and training systems. In Romania,
issues connected to eLearning are comparatively little known, as there are no relevant
studies regarding the present situation of eLearning use or of the ways of increasing
the level of use of Information and Communication Technologies along with an
increase in the efficiency of higher education. The purpose of the study is to explore
the level of dissemination of eLearning in the Romanian higher education, regarding
both awareness about eLearning as a model and actual participation in such courses, to
assess the respondents’ opinion on eLearning, to analyze the perspectives of using elearning,
and the students’ opinions concerning e-learning in comparison with
traditional educational model. The paper reports the results of a research that was
conducted in Iasi, at the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University. Through the application of
appropriate statistical methods, the research’ aim was to describe and assess to
what extent computers are used for learning of the students in order to highlight
any important differences in terms of gender, specialty, and the preferred form of
learning for postgraduate courses.
