Where (who, what) are the drivers for the new model of learning?

Abstract

The transition to the new model of learning requires changes in culture of all persons involved because the goals of students, teachers, but also institutions are changing. The goal is not the limited amount of acquired information anymore, but the lifelong journey of acquiring new and new knowledge. The way to the new model of learning leads through the gradual overcoming of partial conflicts between the old model and each new element, which is brought to learning by information and communication technologies. The paper is based on actual experience obtained during many years of implementation of eLearning and new methods and forms of university education at the Faculty of Economics, VSB-Technical University in Ostrava, and brings suggestions how institution can make this way more effective.
