Advanced Online Learning Digital Content for Lecturing and Learning

Currently, all levels and domains of education (primary, secondary, tertiary, and lifelong) are enhanced by the support of information and communication technologies. Teacher-centered model of education is slowly transformed into student-centered model and various innovative pedagogical approaches (e.g., self-directed learning, game-based learning, flipped classrooms, m-learning, microlearning) have been proposed and researched in last decades. Blended learning is no longer closely related to the domain of higher education. However, all of these learning approaches are closely related to study and learning materials and their quality. Student satisfaction with the learning process starts to significantly affect the design of the learning materials and various modern interactive technologies are integrated into them. This article proposes a concept of learning packages that provide variability in learning resources for students to improve their engagement and motivation to learn and perception of information.

I. Introduction

Quality of education has been a subject of research for many decades, and research is trying to find effective methods of training and learning to improve not only knowledge acquisition, but also motivation of learners to learn and their satisfaction with the learning process. Learner requirements are still increasing almost without regard to the level of study (primary, secondary, tertiary schools and lifelong learning). However, efficient learning methods depend on the level of study and different learning approaches are suitable for e.g. primary schools and different for tertiary level students.
