The aim of this paper is to show how much students use Student Web services to communicate with their teachers and the student registry, that is if they are familiar with the new digital technologies in the education process. The Strategy for the Development of Information Society and The Strategy for Education in Serbia till 2020 generally support the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in education and the promotion of the Academic Network of Serbia in four largest cities, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis and Kragujevac. The results of this research were based on the case study of "media departments" at the Faculty of Philosophy (Media studies) and the Technical College (Web design, Graphic design and Multimedia) in Novi Sad. The questionnaire was filled out by two hundred and twenty-two students who participated in this research, with the confidence level of 95%.
Almost all participants use the student Web services, while 73% of them think that the use of this new digital technology only partly improves the students' communication with their teachers and the student registry, compared to the "traditional" method of "face-to-face" communication. The students use the Web services mainly to register for exams and pay tuition fees. The communication with the teachers is mostly done via e-mail, followed by "face-to-face" communication. If offered, the participants would agree to take some courses "online" and they would like to have the course materials available on the Web. The paper also offers ideas for the improvement of student Web services and the use of new technologies in the education process. | Keywords
