Abstract

The paper presents the results of  a research project focused on university-level teaching with the support of  information and communication technologies. The project was undertaken at the Faculty of  Arts, Masaryk Univresity, in 2007. The authors have opted for a mixed research design; they used both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative part of  the research focuses on didactic equipment of  e-courses and kinds of  tools of  the Moodle system which were used. The e-courses are classified into 3 groups: distance e-courses, blended-learning courses, and courses used as a support to regular classes. The qualitative part of  the research seeks answers to questions such as How do teachers think about their use of  e-learning?, In which ways is their thinking imprinted in the structure and form of  e-learning courses? etc.
