Abstract

V originále

Education at Czech law faculties takes place through lectures and seminars. The former are attended by a large number of students and are taught in a frontal manner, while the latter are aimed at relatively small groups of students who are expected to be actively involved. As a result of the experience we have gained and for practical reasons, a number of faculty lectures have are streamed and also recorded for later playback. But the consequence is a "crisis" of the traditional lecture, as students have lost the last vestiges of motivation to attend lectures in person. But is it right and do lectures like this make any sense at all? Isn't the fascination with technology an end in itself? To what extent can modern technology and distance learning replace traditional teaching methods? What options (and also rights) does the teacher have?
