Electronic (E)-learning is a type of learning by using electronic technologies to access an educational program outside traditional classrooms increasingly demanded by many education systems. As conventional classrooms continue to be transformed into digital, teachers are expected to adopt multiple learning modes. Digitally enriched content and personalized learning should be the primary way of teaching and collaborative and interactive learning. Contrary to the continuous development of technology and students who regularly encounter computers from an early age, teachers do not have the privilege to introduce technology into the classroom successfully. The paper presents how the lack of funds influences a teacher’s readiness to embrace technology into their teaching practice. The paper explores E-learning issues related to virtual environment reality and artificial intelligence that is increasingly entering the classrooms of developed countries and ‘what application of artificial intelligence means for the development and broader implementation of E-learning in virtual classrooms in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The primary method of collecting data was through an open question survey distributed to students in different parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For research purposes, schools were chosen based on how often their students have access to computers or the Internet. Four schools from urban and four schools from rural areas were chosen, and questionaries’ were delivered directly to students by the researcher. The research aims to examine students’ views on the benefits online education has in the educational process in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The survey provides an analysis of the potentials for implementation of the e-learning model in secondary schools in Sarajevo Canton and the rest of the country. The paper presents the advantages and opportunities that contribute to the improvement of e-learning in educational institutions and the benefits for students and other involved parties in the educational process, such as teachers and parents. Students enrolled in this research have a highly positive attitude towards e-learning, which leads to the conclusion that students are willing to learn using I.T. solutions in the classroom.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of Greeks to this new educational reality due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Since the first restrictive measures were implemented in March 2020in Greece, distance learning has become a dynamic part of people’s daily lives with the prospect of remain in gas such in the future. A total of N=170 students, parents, teachers, civil servants, private sector employees who were involved in the distance learning process either as instructors or as students in the period of Covid-19 pandemic in Greece, were selected with the use of snowball sampling. A questionnaire using demographic and satisfaction related variables was completed by the respondents, namely citizens across Greece, based on a Likert scale questionnaire which is a useful and multidimensional instrument, to assess satisfaction within the time frame from July 7, 2020 to October 20, 2020; the period when there occurred a loosening in the restrictive measures between the two lockdowns in Greece. It was investigated how the demographic factors, specifically gender, age, occupation, and place of residence, influence the attitude of the respondents towards synchronous and asynchronous distance learning as well as their intention to continue using online education services in the future after the lifting of the restrictive measures. Additionally, the customers’ preferences concerning the most enjoyable distance learning experience were examined, so that they will be available to the distance learning program designers. Descriptive statistical analysis and non-parametric statistical hypothesis tests were conducted in SPSS and R. Most of the respondents had not participated in online courses before the Covid-19 outbreak, 46 % did participate in e-learning courses before the Covid-19 lockdown while 54 % did not and 34.1% respondents prefer face-to-face learning, while 15.9% prefer e-learning. Also, 50% respondents prefer a combination of face-to-face learning and e-learning. Hypothesis tests showed that there are statistically significant differences between users’ preferences as well as regarding their demographic characteristics. Undergraduate and postgraduate university students continue to participate in online learning courses and are willing to invest financial resources and time in this new educational process (?2(4)=10.440, p=0.034), unlike high school students who prefer face-to-face learning (p=0.042). The present study will lead to practical implications, such as the formation of e-learning programs which aim for the best user experience and the best learning outcomes. Also, private educational organizations can include the results in the key elements to implementing a strategic marketing mix.

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the relevance of the transition to remote forms of training has increased not only for part-time students, but also for full-time ones. Online learning, based on the use of various electronic educational platforms, differs significantly from the traditional system and completely changes the entire educational process, including the forms of knowledge acquisition, control and assessment. ELearning has many advantages, but it can only be considered as an addition to traditional forms of training. However, under the conditions of the pandemic, remote learning for a certain period of time became the only form of communication between students and teachers and showed alongside with its advantages its shortcomings as well. It turned out that higher education is not only technically, but also organizationally unprepared for the transition to online education. This work examines the main aspects of the remote learning system as a necessary and effective technology in the current conditions. At the same time, our task is to analyze the negative assessments that students give to the current state of remote education.

Genesis and modern content of the concept «blended learning» in the foreign pedagogical theory are grounded in the article based on modern approaches. The components (traditional full-time education, distance learning (independent and collaborative) and e-learning (synchronous and asynchronous) education) are distinguished. The levels (activity, course, educational programme, university) of practical realization of the blended learning in educational practice are defined. It was determined, that the concept evolved from understanding blended learning as combination of traditional education elements, distance and e-learning with facilities of information and communication technologies to its awareness as synergetic concept of enriching educational experience of educational process subjects. It is realized by means of integration of different strategies and levels of direct and computer-mediated pedagogical cooperation. Conceptual principles of blended learning are distinguished based on generalization and systematization of foreign researchers’ scientific works. First, it can be realized only within the frames of the formal educational programme. Second, it is done under teacher’s control in conditions when one part of educational cooperation takes place in the training room in the process of direct communication (face-to-face); the other part is realized in the mediated virtual environment. It can be individual or group work in the training room, or independent distant work with educational materials, for example, at home; in its turn, it creates possibility for the students of determining time, place, way and/or their pace of learning. Third, such educational cooperation results in forming student’s individual cognitive experience where components of traditional and interactive online-education supplement each other, and are characterized by differentiated, integrative, open, accessible, flexible and adaptive models of physical and virtual interaction.

During a typical e-learning process, there are many different factors that should be taken into consideration to keep the stability of the process or improve the process to get more effective results. Nowadays, employing Artificial Intelligence-based approaches is one of the most popular ways to improve the process and obtain the desired objectives rapidly. In this sense, there are many different kinds of scientific works in order to improve the related literature. However, ensuring control among the performed Artificial Intelligence-based e-learning process is a critical point because there is sometimes a misunderstanding about employing intelligent e-learning process that running intelligent educational tools or materials does not always mean the related e-learning process will improve greatly. In order to ensure that there should be some managerial procedures focused on some aspects of the process, this chapter aims to introduce a managerial model that can be used for especially Artificial Intelligence-supported e-learning content flow in order to improve the educational process. The suggested model is usable for the educational institutions, which focus on especially Artificial Intelligence-oriented e-learning solutions, research works, and educational activities.
