All devices and gadgets available at the Institute can be tested sitting in a specially designed Egg chair.

Egg chair is designed to provide comfort and create ideal conditions for testing Samsung Gear VR, for example.

Distance learning at the Center for Educational Technology and E-learning

Aware of the benefits of e-learning, the Center for Educational Technology and E-learning pays special attention to its study and implementation. An elaborate e-learning system allows our students to attend lectures, training, courses, etc. at all times, regardless of where they are.

In addition, it enables interaction between teachers and students, access to all sources relevant for education, and more efficient time management.

If you do not live in Belgrade, are too busy, or you cannot attend lectures, seminars, training programs and other educational events we organize for another reason, the Center for Educational Technology and E-learning now offers you the opportunity to dedicate yourself to your professional development through the use of our DL platform. In this way, useful knowledge and skills needed for professional development are just a few clicks away. Moreover, you now have the opportunity to organize your time the way it best suits you, and make the most of it.

How does the DL platform work?

The DL platform of the Institute for Contemporary Education provides access to video courses and distance learning courses (Distance Learning – DL). Video courses comprise a series of video clips arranged into logical units designed to help you efficiently master the content of the entire course. By entering a video course, you will see a list of the videos available for that course on the left. You can start the video by clicking on the Play button. Videos can be paused so you could take notes and organize your learning process in the most efficient manner possible. Courses of this type may include additional materials in the form of exercises and assignments.
When it comes to DL courses, by clicking on the desired course, you will open a page with the basic information about the course, as well as a list of teaching modules and the accompanying units in that module. By clicking on a unit within each course, you will open a window with the appropriate elements related to that unit. The most important elements of the course content include: Unit content, Multimedia, Progress Test and Summary.
One of the greatest advantages of the platform is that it enables you to watch training programs held at the Institute via live streaming. The scheduled time and links for accessing training programs will be shown in the Live class window. After accessing the live stream at the appointed time, you will be able to watch the lecture from the comfort of your home, or any other place of your choosing.

We are waiting for you at the Center for Educational Technology and E-learning to choose the best professional development model for you together!
