Reflection on blended learning and e-learning – case study

E-learning includes many methods that can profoundly change the learning process. We were interested in the views of both teachers and students on risks and benefits brought about by e-learning. There were conducted semi-structured interviews with instructors and collected and analyzed essays of students attending the course of Business Ethics. The results show that e-learning may change the roles of both teachers and students as it is attractive and improves clarity of instruction as well as course integrity, individualization of the learning process and feedback. On the other hand, it favors interactivity over dialogue, and generates simplification as well as superficiality. Moreover, both teachers and students perceive there a lack of personal contact and fundamental human communication.
