The development of eLearning is a rapidly expanding area of education and it has become a phenomenon in the learning and knowledge society. Many schools - from basic to universities have adopted some learning management systems and have gained much experience with this way of learning. But there are currently not reported many results of studies in the area of evaluation. There exist some results from the research evaluating the effectiveness of study by means of eLearning in comparison with classical method of study. According to our understanding it is necessary to accept a system approach and attempt to evaluate eLearning study. In the paper we determine our approaches to the evaluation of eLearning.
