The research deals with comparison of study results in present and distance form of education. Students of author´s home institution, Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, and the partner institution, Riga International School of Economics and Business Administration, Riga, Latvia, participated in the research. Its main objective was to learn whether there exist any significant differences in study results at the institutions and in the present and distance form of instruction there. The research field was English for specific purposes, namely topics Geography&amp;Tourism, Social communication, Education, English grammar etc. The method of experiment was applied to collect the necessary data to verify the hypothesis. First, students´entrance knowledge was tested by pre-tests, and then the process of instruction followed. It was organized either in the traditional present, i.e. face-to-face way, or in the distance way supported and managed by modern technologies. At the end of the experiment, students´knowledge was evaluated by post-tests. The received data were processed by NCSS 2004 statistic software and compared in both institutions. At the end of the article the received results are discussed.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">188-195</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petra  Poulova</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ivana  Šimonova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE TEN-YEAR HISTORY OF THE PROCESS OF E-LEARNING IMPLEMENTATION AT CZECH UNIVERSITIES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">distance learning</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e-learning</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">November/2009</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1399915159.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In the course of last ten years eLearning has become a standard in tertiary education. It is time we considered the whole process, which is not long but has been part of everyday life, and influenced the current way of education at all levels. The article deals with the history of the process at Czech universities. It presents documents which supported establishing eLearning as an inseparable part and form of instruction but even set its role in the process of accreditation of new study programmes; it introduces ways of evaluation of the whole process and single possibilities which eLearning tools offer for teaching various subjects; it provides survey on how eLearning is really used at Czech universities. As the University of Hradec Kralove, mainly the Faculty of Informatics and Management, was the leader in this process, methods used in the process of ICT implementation and ways of evaluation could have been later applied at other Czech and other universities. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">159-167</style></section></record></records></xml>
