Abstract

This paper summarizes the results of analysis which concerns new opened field of study with distance mode of study. The aim of analysis is to evaluate the comparability of full-time and distance mode of study and to answer three research questions. The first question concerns the characteristics of distance students who unsuccessfully ended their study already after the second semester. The second research question focuses on utilization of online tests and lists of control questions. The third question investigates how important are video records of lectures for distance students. The analysis is based on data obtained from the Integrated Study Information System. Results should be taken into account in the coming years, when lecturers will update e-earning study materials and prepare tutorials.
