Information technology in nursing education
ŠKVOROVÁ, Denisa
The thesis on Information Technology in Nursing Education focuses in the theoretical part on defining the history of nursing education and defines the differences with the education of the present, also points to legislative norms related to nursing education. It then describes the learning process and defines the concepts of online education and e-learning. Two objectives and two hypotheses have been identified within the research part of the thesis. The first objective was to determine the use of online education by general nurses. The second objective was to determine the use of e-learning by students of both daily and combined forms. Therefore, two hypotheses were set for these objectives: H1: Higher education nurses use online learning more than non-college nurses and also H2: Students in the combined form of study use e-learning more than full-time students. Hypotheses have been set for chi quadrate testing and are included in the thesis including an alternative and zero hypothesis. The data for the quantitative research of this diploma thesis was obtained through two non-standardized questionnaires. The first questionnaire focused on the use of eLearning in students of both the day and the combined form of study, and the second was designed to identify the use of online nursing education. Both questionnaires were structured and contained both open and closed questions. The questionnaire survey was anonymous. Respondents were addressed throughout the Czech Republic. It was a deliberate choice. The first questionnaire contained 29 questions and the return was 387 questionnaires, of which 4 questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete or incorrect filling. The second questionnaire contained 31 questions, returning 246 questionnaires, of which 6 questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete or incorrect filling. A quantitative research survey was conducted between March and April 2017. Both questionnaires were distributed only electronically through social networks in sister and healthcare groups and societies. The research has confirmed the hypothesis that students use e-learning for learning, and in particular, students from the combined form of study use it more than in full-time study. Nurses do not use online lessons, but college-educated nurses use it more than high school educated. Among the barriers to education, the two groups of respondents most often have the same items, namely lack of time, lack of motivation and lack of courses that the respondents would be interested in. For the benefit of eLearning and online learning, compared to traditional forms of education, both groups agree on the positive values of consensus. In terms of the positive aspects of these forms of education, the two groups again agree on the low financial demands of both forms, the benefits of home accessibility and the possibility of selecting a topic according to one another. The groups also agree with the limitations of the studied forms of education - they refer in particular to the focus of the courses on the theory and the inability to test the findings in practice.

Pour, Lukas ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dufek, Jaroslav (referee)
Communication with the customer plays a crucial role in today's internet marketing. In case we do not communicate with the customer or we let his attention towards our product or service fade away, than the investment into gaining him has not been well used. Email marketing itself is a very good instrument for maintaining and building the relationship with the customer. However, a great number of entrepreneurs and companies does not know how to work with email marketing and they send email just the same way as they would invite their colleagues for a meeting or simply just scan a discount flier. The first part of the master thesis therefore focuses on the definition of email marketing itself and of the features by which emails affect the customers. It than presents the ways how to maintain the customer, how to pamper them by e.g. content marketing and it shows the current trends and possibilities of automatization. The second part of the master thesis than presents and uses email marketing not only as one of the very strong instruments of direct marketing but also as one of the ways to support online education, which has been gaining a lot of popularity both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The thesis shows the possibilities how to use email marketing to promote an education website that is being created concurrently with this thesis and how to teach its visitors. The practical part shows how to set up the path of the customer and the email marketing strategy in order to change the visitors of the website into loyal customers. All that with the highest possible automatization of the process.
