	abstract = {In modelling and process simulation the aim of the research is to create a designed functional control model of student communication in LMS system by a created model in Petri nets. The model reflects the student{\textasciiacute}s and the pedagogue{\textasciiacute}s requirements, is enough modular, not too complicated and it fulfils the basic pedagogical and psychological principles. The aim was to create a control model of student communication in LMS system which would be not only intelligible and clear but it would also eliminate some lacks from the other known models. Introduction and administration of any processes requires description of their solution, inspection, monitoring, optimization and first of all their simple formulation, whereby it is very important to express their logic. The article deals with modelling and subsequent simulation of education processes in Petri nets implemented into the environment of the learning management system (LMS). The aim of the LMS system for the teaching control is to regulate the communication according to the student{\textasciiacute}s knowledge and ability and thus modify the amount and sophistication of submitted materials for the student. Using the constituted model we shall be able to create electronic courses, so these models can serve as a prototype for creating further electronic courses in the environments of the LMS.},

	abstract = {Education and possible further studies have become a rather demanding investment. At the time of imperfect technology, i.e. technology of the previous period, it was a very difficult and doubtable task. But, is an ordinary use of new technologies a formula for the solution? We shall try to adequately answer this question. In our contribution we shall introduce educational activities (e-courses) based on cooperation and experimentation within the combined form of education. The aim of the paper is to describe possibilities of using the known methods of modelling of systems, such as modelling with the support of Petri nets and modelling technologies known from the sphere of engineering cybernetics. We shall describe possibilities of creation of a model of educational activity and in conclusion we shall attempt at assessing the educational e-activities in the context of qualitative aspects of the combined education with the support of e-learning based on ISO standard.},

	abstract = {To describe the management of communication between human being and the computer it is appropriate to employ graphic tools in order to describe and formulate the basic rules underlying this interaction. Interaction between student and LMS in the process of teaching and learning is a composite process and it is highly recommended to employ Petri nets for this purpose. The paper aims at presenting the principle of construction of linear and branching learning programmes and their subsequent formulation using Petri nets in education of natural science subjects.
 At present, didactic effectiveness of the e-learning course {\quotedblbase}Operating systems{\textquotedblleft} is verified based on the model created by means of Petri nets. In order not to diminish the power of statistic results of created tests, we shall verify their validity and we shall use reliable and valid measuring procedures for data mining (pretest, posttest) (Munkov{\'a}, Munk, 2007). For the solution of this research problem two methods will be used: analysis of variance and analysis of covariance, where the analysis of variance is more simple and does not require the assumption of the homogeneity of regression in individual groups. On the other hand, interpretation is less valid, when between groups exist differences in the controlled variable (pretest) (Munk, 2007). Similarly to other situations it is recommended to execute both ways of analysing and comparing their results. On condition that the results will be identical we can consider them robust.
 In order to apply new forms and methods of teaching the subject from the area of operating systems of computers, we had to analyse the current state and contents of education process from this subject. After the survey a certain model was designed, which could cause shortening of the progression and increasing of the visualisation of instruction of operating systems, which results in the increase in the knowledge level of students and improves the level of their seminary and final works. The created e-course dealing with operating systems of computers is used as a complementary study material and an aid for the instruction of the subject {\quotedblbase}Principles of construction of operating systems{\textquotedblleft} for students with the focus on informatics. The current results point out to the suitability of application of Petri nets to the creation of instruction supporting e-materials for the students of informatics study programmes realized at the Department of Informatics of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the CPU in Nitra.},
