E-CONTENT – LEARNING BY DOING
E-CONTENT – LEARNING BY DOING

Summary/Abstract: In our era when almost everything is personalized only the learning and the e-learning too seem to be one step behind. Why is personalization so important in learning? Although we all know that one of the purposes of education is that each student should achieve his/her potential and is strongly connected to the student’s unique needs, the educational systems from all countries are standardized and ignore individual needs to a great extent. There is a gap between what the students need and what the educational systems offer. This gap is quite hard to bridge in the traditional classrooms, but today teaches can use a wide range of strategies and resources in order to make this possible. If we take into account the resources, in e-learning one of them is the e-content, which is strongly connected to technology, but also with methodology. It is obvious that today’s teacher must master not only the design and teaching methodology, but also technology. This paper aims, as a starting point for future research on a group of students from different specializations attending the Computer Assisted Instruction course at “Lucian Blaga” University in Sibiu, Romania, to connect personalization in e-learning with the design and implementation of the econtent, using free and open source software, in order to improve the quality of learning. This research is all the more important as the students who attend this course are training to become teachers, so they must be aware of the importance of personalizing the learning process.
