Since the development in the field of ICT inevitably proceeds, it is necessary not only to retain the right direction in education via modern means, but also we are forced to look for and to implement the newest methods and forms of education. Nowadays, interactive animations as one of the basic multimedia elements are regarded the standard way how to present and provide visual situations in educational process. Usage of interactive animations, eventually particular media elements, in educational process has been in the centre of the interest of the community of professionals for a long time. The importance of their exploitation increased notably after the implementation of ICT into the education when their potential was revealed. From the psychological and pedagogical point of view, the implementation of interactive animations into e-learning courses should enable and ensure the development of cognitive and intellectual abilities of the students. Although we concentrate on the university study in the paper, it does not decrease nor limit the implementation of the animations within primary or secondary education. The aim of our research was to find out how the students who use e-learning course Computer Architecture evaluated our educational methods incorporating innovated study materials into which interactive animations were implemented. Moreover, we wanted them to identify the problems of innovated materials as well as the problems of the evaluation process of education. Considering the variability and various options of learning management system we chose LMS Moodle 1.9+ to carry out our experiments. The system was chosen not only for its implementation at the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra where it is the fundamental system for e-learning and electronic support of the education. The other important reason was its widespread implementation at various schools in Slovakia as well as abroad. The experiment was realised in summer terms of 2009/2010 academic year (control group) and 2010/2011 academic year (experimental group). At the end of the experiment we asked the students to fill in the questionnaire and to submit their comments on what they missed and what they considered being too much in mentioned course. | Keywords
