E-OBRAZOVANJE S APEKTA POSLOVNIH PROCESA

High quality education is a very important precondition of country\u27s social-economic development. In that respect the e-learning becomes a trend in contemporary curriculum. The increased use of ICT and implementation of new pedagogic methods are just some characteristics of present-day educational methods. Contemporary educational methods, which imply e-learning programs as one of ICT usage results, enable students to acquire knowledge from a distant location with or without a mentor. The most remarkable features of e-learning are experience and problems solving sharing with other participants as well as on-line testing. This paper analyses relations between teachers and students activities during e-learning and e-learning process in order to constantly improve quality of the educational method on one side and the level of acquired knowledge on the other side. New hybrid educational organization, (classroom education and education in virtual surrounding) in which business processes in educational system are continuously subject to alterations due to better results achievement, is the answer to challenging market and society demands.Važan preduvjet društveno-ekonomskog razvoja svake zemlje je visoka kvaliteta obrazovanja. U tom kontekstu e-obrazovanje postaje trend u suvremenoj nastavi. Povećano korištenje ICT-a i primjena novih pedagoških metoda samo su neke od karakteristika današnjih nastavnih metoda. Suvremene metode obrazovanja, koje impliciraju e-obrazovne programe kao jedan od rezultata korištenja ICT-a u obrazovanju, omogućavaju učenicima stjecanje znanja s udaljene lokacije sa ili bez mentora. Najupečatljivije značajke e-učenja su dijeljenje iskustava i rješenja za probleme s ostalim sudionicima u e-nastavi, te on-line testiranje. U ovom radu analiziramo odnos aktivnosti nastavnika i učenika u postupku e-nastave i e-učenja u smislu neprekidnog poboljšanja kvalitete e-obrazovanja kao obrazovnog postupka s jedne strane i razine stečenog znanja s druge strane. Nova hibridna organizacija obrazovanja (učionička nastava i nastava u virtualnom okruženju), u kojoj su poslovni procesi u sustavu obrazovanja kontinuirano podložni promjenama s ciljem postizanja što boljih rezultata, predstavlja odgovor na sve izazovnije zahtjeve tržišta i društva općenito

E-LEARNING U BANKARSTVU

With this paper research results are presented on a successful e-learning implementation in banking. Previous experience with e-learning, general satisfaction with e-learning, satisfaction with particular elements of e-learning, on-line support, e-learning acceptance by office employees, as well as demanding way of assuring regular office business, indicate the possibility of implementing e-learning not only as a training process, but as a regular business process as well.U ovom radu je opisano istraživanje uspješnosti primjene e-learninga u bankarstvu. Dosadašnje iskustvo s e-learningom, općenito zadovoljstvo e-learningom, zadovoljstvo elementima e-learninga, on-line podrškom, prihvatljivost prakticiranja e-learninga za zaposlenike poslovnica, kao i zahtjevnost osiguranja redovnog rada poslovnica, ukazuju na mogućnost implementiranja e-learninga ne samo kao obrazovnog već i svakodnevnog poslovnog proces

Training Programmes in Sustainable Forest Management in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia

Background and Purpose: During the Erasmus+ project “Cooperation for Innovative Approach in Sustainable Forest Management Training (CIA2SFM)” a study of the existing vocational education and training (VET) and lifelong learning (LLL) programmes in the field of sustainable forest management (SFM) was conducted in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. The aim of this paper is to get an overview of and analyse SFM-related VET and LLL programmes in the study area, with an emphasis on the identification of good practice examples and providing recommendations for improvement. Materials and Methods: A combined approach of literature review, Internet search and consultations with training providers was applied in order to collect data on training programmes conducted in the period 2006-2015 in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. The programmes were analysed based on topics, types of methods used, existence of specified learning outcomes, programme evaluation by participants and how the programme was advertised. The analysis employed basic descriptive statistics. Topics were grouped into broader themes. Only training programmes targeting private forest owners, forestry professionals, and forestry entrepreneurs were analysed. Three examples of good practice in each country were selected based on collaboratively developed criteria. Results: In Austria, Croatia and Slovenia numerous training courses related to SFM were conducted in the analysed period, predominantly addressing target groups in forestry sector and covering a variety of topics. The relative importance of themes varied among countries. In order to facilitate the knowledge uptake by participants various methods were applied. Although indoor ex-cathedra approaches prevailed, it could be recognized that there is a growth in interest for foster demonstrations in the field, organizing field trips, emphasize on practical work and combining methods and approaches in most countries. Conclusions: Even if national providers of training programmes may relate to individual needs within national forestry sectors, SFM-related training programmes should be regularly screened and updated according to international agendas and emerging issues. In order to cope with increasing uncertainty and expanding risks forest ecosystems are facing, it is an important task to open up the recent training offer to innovative forms of learning, combinations of topics and learning environments

Project Risk Management: Comparative Analysis of Methods for Project Risks Assessment

Analysis of project risks leads to a deeper understanding of potential problems in the course of the project. A number of techniques and tools are used to that purpose, which can ensure effective assessments both quantitative assessments and measures for every project risk, and qualitative assessment in order to sort project risks according to their rank and category. This article analyzes some of the methods from the aspect of their advantages and disadvantages in application with the aim to facilitate the selection of the most convenient method for the particular project. A comparison was made of the following methods: PERT, Brainstorming, Delphi, Monte Carlo, sensitivity analysis method, probability analysis method, and the Decision Tree. Comparative analysis of methods for the assessment of project risks include those variables that have a major impact on the cost, time, or benefits, on which the project is most sensitive to. It is based on the relation of a particular technique or tools towards the description of the risk, towards all possible outcomes of risk, magnitude or seriousness of outcome, probability of the appearance of the risk event, probability of the possible outcome, time of the risk event and the interaction of the outcome of the risk with other parts of the observed project or of other projects
