Purpose: The paper presents students egzamination system developer for the scaleable e-learning system. Organisation of the teaching and examination processes, as well as the implementation details are described. An intelligent system based on one of the Artificial Intelligence methods - FCM (Fuzzy Cognitive Maps) type network is being developed within the framework of current work on the e-learning process topic, to model the behaviour and functioning the system as a whole. Design/methodology/approach: The intelligent examination system for students was developed based on mechanism derived from HotPotatoes system. Programming languages like PHP and JavaScript were also used. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps were used to model the e-learning process and an example of the system use is presented. Findings: The project effect is the intelligent examination system supporting the statistical analysis of the difficulty level of test problems, generating comments and materials individually for every user. The didactic process was modelled using FCM method. Practical implications: Reduction of test checking time consumption, individual attitude to every student, score advised to the students along with the comments pertaining to the wrong answers and recommended study topics - all immediately after the test, sent to the student's mailbox. Originality/value: Employment of FCM AI tool for evaluation of the teaching process effectiveness.

Purpose: The goal of this work was to develop further the educational platform of the Internet Students Teaching Centre (ISTC) - the e-learning system based on the available state-of-the-art internet technologies (HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL) with the possibility to generate the personalised PDF documents. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents the process of working out the educational materials package in PDF format, generated from the lecture notes (PowerPoint), instruction sheets with test problems (Excel), and knowledge tests (Hot Potatoes). Educational materials are generated dynamically on the e-learning platform, i.e., individually for each student. A detailed example is included-of working out the PDF document format and its automatic generation along with the course student certificate using the PHP scripts. Findings: The efficient method of assisting remotely the e-learning students acquiring skills and knowledge at a varying pace has been developed, providing them with the personalised support. Research limitations/implications: Extensive testing has to be carried on big students groups, more course materials have to be developed and uploaded onto the e-learning platform. Originality /value: Possibility of creating the personalised documents is the first stage in generating the programmed course materials, which - after verifying student's knowledge and determining his or her arrears - are automatically sent to the student, containing more detailed explanations on required topics.

Purpose: The issue of distance learning is presented in the work, and especially the development stages of the educational platform of the Internet Teaching Centre for Students (further referred to as ICKS), which is planned to be used for implementation of the e-learning didatcic process. Design/methodology/approach: The following programming technologies were used for development of the educational platform: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and SQL. The relational database was designed using the DFD and ERD models, and created in MySQL using the SQL language. PHP language was used to develop the relevant interface so that the user can access and modify data in the database; scripts in this language form the MySQL database front-end making it possible to carry out operations on data. The ICKS web page interface, including the Administrative Panel, Student Rooms, and Teacher Rooms, was developed using the HTML language and the CSS cascading style sheets. Findings: Detailed e-learning site specification requires were put forth and the contemporary technologies were applied to develop the framework for the scaleable e-learning platform. Research limitations/implications: The system will have to be filled in with relevant course materials and tested thoroughly before being fielded. Originality/value: System elements development completed out so far and detailed specifications make it possible to implement the platform to handle all subjects taught at the Institute.

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.
