| Description | This poster deals with using e-learning in education of older people in Faculty of Sports Studies, Masaryk University in Brno. We can see many advantages in education with using new IT technologies (flexibility, independency, anywhere, anytime, simpler administration, multisensual sensation, communication etc.). There are also a few disadvantages connected with this way of teaching (high total costs, necessity of PC and PC-literacy, no physical contact between teacher-student etc.). On our faculty we prepared e-learning support for subjects "Health Physical Education" and "Psychomotorics", which is suitable for older student. In these subjects we tried how to approach to making e-learning support, how to administrate these courses and how to teach. During this experiment we obtained rich information from our students (feedback) to improvement this method of education. This poster shows there are almost no barriers in education of older people. |
