MicroLearning, eLearning, course, information and communication technologies, technical course, humanities course

Today, different areas of human life are rapidly developing. Education is no exception. It can almost be said that the ability to adapt to changes have become a new skill. Technological development and technological equipment of schools leads to the following question: How should this trend be reflected in the education/learning area? Integration of microLearning into instruction should help us answer this question. This computer-based instruction can be perceived as the eLearning evolution. The transformation of appropriate courses into microLearning units may be beneficial for both agents of education - the teacher and the student. This paper presents a research project aimed at implementation of microLearning units into technical and humanities courses taught at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies of the Pedagogical Faculty of the University of Ostrava. The authors introduce research objectives, questions and design and basic theoretical outcomes. The results may help determine not only the differences in the creation of microLearning units and their inclusion in the instruction of various courses, but also both teachers? and students? attitude toward them.
