Summary/Abstract: In the study process, the students have problems understanding parts or of the whole course curriculum. The most frequent reasons for these problems are: the student absence of one or more successive lectures, or the student lack to understand parts of the course curriculum. Depending on the structure and dependability of the lessons in the course curriculum, the student can have problems with small part or large number of lessons in the course curriculum. These might lead to complete misunderstanding of the course curriculum. In order to solve this problem, development and deployment of additional digital content is usually needed, which is both time and budget consuming. The high development and maintaining price are most common arguments which cause resistance against deployment of such systems in the educational institutions. In this article, we propose a model for broadening of the traditional study process by using low-cost digital content and distance learning. This model is inexpensive for deploying, administering and supporting and is simple to use, while the greatest benefit is increasing the students’ learning experience. In the paper, we will describe the distance education model that was used for content sharing together with the student survey reflecting on the achieved quality of learning experience.
