Abstract: This paper deals with a concept of
Knowledge system which is created to support medern
learning and teaching. Educational technology is
constantly changing and improving in line with the
development of science and information technology.
Traditional teaching is most often criticized for
insufficient activity of students, inadequate teaching
intuition and dynamism, the impossibility of
individualisation of teaching, lack of continuous
feedback on the achievements of students and others.
Intensive development of telecommunications technology
and computer systems, permanent connection to the
Internet and WEB based learning systems enabled better
use of computer technology in teaching. Computer based
knowledge systems provide flexible organization of
activities, lectures and study materials and a complex
evaluation of students.
Teaching is often formalized, verbalized and not
sufficiently visual, reducing knowledge durability as
well as possibility of connecting theory with real life.
Multimedia knowledge systems is created for personal
computers offer possibility for making electronic text
books involving text, pictures, sounds, animations and
films, in such a way that learners can individually
proceed in learning teaching contents, they can return
to contents which are not clear enough to them, they can
receive feedback and additional information in
accordance with their own capabilities and interests.
Interactivity and quality of presented materials, using
multimedia and hypertext, offer considerably richer
contents compared with teaching carried out in
traditional classroom.
