New teaching methods using the Information Technology
Drudík, Jakub ; Šedivá, Zuzana (advisor) ; Benáčanová, Helena (referee)
The diploma thesis describes selected new teaching methods using the Information Technology. In consideration of supporting the Informatics course at University of Economics, the options of future teaching methodology development are outlined. The creation of educational tutorials in form of screencasting is considered as the first development step, for which the methodology has been drawn up. It covers preparation, implementation and publishing of the tutorials. To test the methodology, supporting learning materials were worked out accordingly for the part of the course explaining Microsoft Excel 2007 application -- in form of the illustration of the problem solving process. The created tutorials were published on the special website and presented (not only) to students. Within 14-day testing period a large dataset was acquired to provide feedback both from tracking visitors' movements on the website and from e-questionnaires. The feedback was thoroughly analysed and the conclusions were used for the optimalization of the methodology which was finalized by this step and is disposable for authors of future educational tutorials.
