| Description | Modern information technologies have created a great deal of new opportunities in the field of education. E-leaming is a very popular form of education, and its potential is an excellent tool not only for transferring knowledge, research results, and latest knowledge into the learning process, but also an effective tool to increase the interest of young people in science and technology. We have therefore created the Learning Student Portal "elearncentral" to enhance the quality and effectiveness of traditional teaching methods. Since 2004, this portal has been continuously used, as part of blended learning at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava and since 2009 also in the field of popularization of science and technology among children and young people. This contribution presents our practical secrets in the design, realization and implementation of interactive eLearning projects available on the elearncentral portal. Interactive online / offline projects created with interactive interactivity, multimedia features, animation, tests and discussion forums. The design of popularization courses to get to know the public with the chosen theme must be 'very attractive' and the language must be very pleasant, l'ahko understandable and clear. Based on these facts, we decided to prefer the use of many illustrative diagrams and illustrations demonstrating basic features before complicated explanations when creating these e-learning projects. For users, we have created options for a spouse. We also provide a summary of her outings. The work mentioned in this article was supported by the Kega Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic under grant 020STU-412015. |
