Abstract

Distance learning and e-learning material application rapidly increases in few years. Ministry of Education and Sport and European Social Fund have financed many projects for e-learning material production in Slovenia lately. As a result we have many more or less quality e-learning materials. Authors analyzed different types of communication in the contemporary publically available e-learning materials for primary schools. Different viewpoints of communication emerged during the analysis: technical communication, didactical communication and visual communication. Most thorough knowledge is in the area of technical communication. But the problems of incompatibility and software settings are present on the daily basis. Didactical communication are presents multilevel problems. The goals of education are to be covered and the form of communication needs to be suitable for learners. Visual communications are the most problematic since there are no clear principles how to assess the quality of visual communications. Jet they are highly important in the distance education and e-learning materials.
