Summary/Abstract: Distance learning in Romania is organized by combining different forms of distance interaction and communication (designed and developed using an e-learning predefined platform) but also face-to-face meetings and tutorial sessions. Danubius University implemented in 2009 such a system based on Sakai e-Learning platform. To evaluate the quality and opportunity level regarding the usage of the e-learning platform and the specific methods and tools, the distance learning department developed a quiz for the students. The content of this questionnaire, based on which the performance assessment is made, approach the flexibility in offering the e-learning support, the communication possibilities and the time saving. All the University’s students enrolled in distance learning programs were subjects no matter their degree level or domain. The results of this assessment are managerial tools and decision instruments for future development of the distance learning methods adopted by the university but also for new modules added to the e-learning platform.
