Anotace

The qualitative research yielded a number of interesting findings which were presented at several conferences in autumn 2010 (such as ECER 2010). The paper presents selected findings from the second stage of the research. The findings complement those of the previous 2010 project and are a significant contribution not only to understanding e-learning at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, but also to a general awareness of how students view their studies. It turns out that students are able to use ICT in different, often highly individualized ways. The research suggests that there is a subpopulation of students using ICT to a great extent but also a subpopulation of students who are largely sceptical of the possibilities of modern technologies. The quantitative research also confirms that there are students who do perceive negative effects of ICT use in tertiary education. The paper concludes with some findings concerning more general issues related to the current situation in university study in the Czech Republic.
