Purpose: This paper presents ideas and construction kinds of distance learning system based on course management system for distance learning and Computer Aided Teaching in the field of material science. Design/methodology/approach: Paper describes contain and composition of the system including virtual courses and didactic materials for lectures in the discipline of materials science and instructions for classes guided in scientific laboratories used as a supplement for traditional learning methods. \ Findings: This study shows advantages, possibilities and features of already created and introduced e-learning system as a modern tool for distance education and interactive communication with students and between students. It’s also used for publishing of scientific researches and other staff of the Institute. Practical implications: As an example of such system is presented an educational platform applied in Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials at Silesian University of Technology, Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Gliwice, Poland, with use of the “MOODLE” software in October 2004. Originality/value: Article is valuable for persons and institutions, which are concerned with e-learning and distance education, as well for students and all users of such systems.
