*ICT – information and communication technologies (computers, networks, phones, software etc)
Results of ET

indoors at classroom)

An appropriate method/IT tool should be used for a particular task/unit
E-courses should not be too long. The best solution is mixed/combined courses – classroom + e-learning
Devices/apps do not teach by themselves – a student has to be self-motivated, facilitator must support developing of a self-controlling and self-developing leaner as well
