Abstract 
Today  we  are  witnessing  an  excessive  introduction  of 
nanotechnologies  in  our  lives  which  brings  a  number  of 
benefits, the elimination of communication barriers between 
people, freedom of movement to the acquisition by them of 
routine  activities  as  well  as  the  emergence  of  new  needs 
would need continuous training to keep up with them and to 
reap the full benefits of potential. 
Division of labor and specialization in the entrepreneurs, the 
emergence  and  widespread  quality  standards, 
professionalism,  teamwork,  accountability  are  just  some  of 
the reasons that lead us to believe that, at present, although 
the activities are generated by individual needs, these can 
not be satisfied entirely by a single entity called the individual, 
household, business or civil society

Rezumat 
Astăzi asistăm la o introducere excesivă a nanotehnologiilor în viaţa 
noastră fapt ce aduce cu sine o serie de avantaje, de la eliminarea 
barierelor comunicaţionale dintre oameni, libertate în mişcare până la 
preluarea de către acestea a unor activităţi de rutină dar şi apariţia 
unor noi nevoi  cum ar fi nevoia permanentă de instruire pentru a 
putea  ţine  pasul  cu  acestea  şi  a  profita  din  plin  de  beneficiile 
potenţiale. 
Diviziunea  muncii  şi  specializarea  întreprinzătorilor,  apariţia  şi 
generalizarea  standardelor  de  calitate,  profesionalizarea,  munca  în 
echipă,  responsabilizarea  sunt  doar  câteva  din  motivele  care  ne 
determină să credem că, în prezent, deşi activităţile sunt generate de 
nevoi individuale, aceste nu mai pot fi satisfăcute în totalitate de către 
o singură entitate denumită individ, gospodărie, societate comercială 
sau civilă.  
 
Cuvinte  cheie:  Instruire,  servicii  publice,  eLearning,  societatea

Outsourcing is not only a fashion but a necessity. If we agree that resources are limited and needs are 
constantly increasing and diversifying, then we accept that a solution could come from the substitution 
of production factors, the emergence of production units and / or competing service providers to use 
alternative resources results at least comparable to traditional ones.  
Information and consumer awareness of alternatives that may have at some point to meet a need not 
be exclusively left to the market without it being trained on the rules to be observed in its rules without 
which no system could define and work.  
Beyond these considerations, the Romanian society on the need to follow their natural course of training 
so that Romania aims of basic education (all levels is envisaged general and mandatory training: 
primary, secondary, vocational schools and high schools and colleges as well as theoretical) are (Law 
84, 1995):  
  Capacity  of  reflection  of  the  present  world,  to  solve  current  problems  through  knowledge 
gained in various areas; 
  Socio-cultural skills and the ability to integrate active in various groups (family, professional, 
community  etc.) 
  Basic  skills  for  social  success:  problem  solving,  decision  making,  negotiation,  conflict 
resolution, etc. Creative use of information. 
Paradoxically, in RaportUNESCO (1997), in contemporary European school "education aims to prepare 
people deliberately for types of society which no education, through its systems to provide care to the 
highest the formation of children to a world unknown unknown".  
After December 1989, the educational ideal of contemporary Romanian society is changing and is "the 
free, full and harmonious development of human individuality, the formation of autonomous and creative 
personality" (Law 84, 1995). 
William K. Cummings in "Educational Institutions" (2007), a comparative study on the development of 
education in Germany, France, England, USA, Japan and Russia in terms of a researcher receiving any 
developments  in  science  education  in  recent  decades  andtheir  educational  experience  in  different 
cultures, continents and education and concludes that "any educational ideal, values and norms of a 
society are encoded in an institutional practice that characterizes". 
As described editors, William K. Cummings holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University and currently a 
professor at George Washington University, where he teaches education courses in the international 
context. To advise in over 15 countries around the world with extensive experience in developing and 
monitoring programs of higher education, the author of over 100 articles and 20 books or monographs

devoted  to  education  and  development. In  November  2007  the  launch  in  Romania  of  the  book 
"Educational Institutions" in the presence of Romanian Minister of Education at that time, Cristian 
Adomnitei, Cummings (2007) stated that: "It is a great challenge to make reform of choosing from so 
many conflicting models of education one that suits you". 
What  educational  model  was  Cummings  (2007)  reference? What  educational  model  fits  today's 
Romania as part of the European Union? 
Education law in our country's educational ideal of Romanian school is the free, full and harmonious 
development of human individuality, the formation of autonomous and creative personality. 
The ideal educational requirements and aspirations of a society express a certain historical stage as a 
desirable model of human personality has a high level of generality and achieve long-term.  
Contribute to the achievement of the education system as a whole and the link between what is and 
what should become man in the education whatever educational ideal society in which they operate. It 
therefore  aims  to  achieve  the  defining  historical  and  socio-economic  context  in  which  it  is  to  be 
achieved.  
Thus, the ideal of education is indicative and descriptive generality presents everything is done in 
shaping and educating man. 
Identifying the  role  of education  in  the welfare of  a  nation still preoccupied and concerned 
researchers. Some (Bessenyei, 2006) believes that the answer to the following questionsmay lead us 
to find possible solutions.  
1.  As conditions have changed our learning? 
2.  What is self-organized learning? 
3.  What  new  roles  as  teacher,  student  we  met  in  education  based  on  electronic  and 
communication solutions? 
4.  What types of knowledge we have gained in this way? 
5.  How to measure individual effort made in a collective work? 
6.  What interpersonal  relationships and  how attitudes were  formed based  on learningsupported 
by internet? 
7.  What good is consciousness? 
8.  What gets new forms of learning academic structure?

Includes all components of the learning 
environment (institution, study materials, 
communication, administration, verification). 
The possibility of Internet access is not wide 
enough yet. 
Provides access to the full range of constantly 
updated materials (text, image, drawing, video, 
sound). 
Low speed transmission limits the use of 
multimedia. 
Technology supports communication, search, 
documentation, evaluation multilateral automatic 
implementation and evaluation issues. 
Use of electronic communication environment 
requires special expertise. 
Ensure participation in the course without taking 
into account the time and place. 
Orientation information flow involves using 
different criteria and techniques of personal 
choice. 
The hypertext structure allows to achieve a linear 
learning process. 
Communication is one-dimensional. 
Support individual learning style 
and pace. 
Missing emotional effect personal communication 
(face-to-face). 
Self-organization helps the learning process. 
Missing improvisation, spontaneity exposure, 
there is no occurrence of positive experience and 
training ideas on the spot. 
Interactive communication tools make possible 
learning network. 
You can practice speaking less vivid, direct 
dispute. 
Rather than focus attention on the ability of 
individual exposure, the effect of providing 
sewerage charismatic teacher attention on ideas. 
Work done on the monitor has ergonomic limits. 
Provides the possibility to check individual 
progress.
