Abstract :
Traditional learning environments are today placed face to face with information and communication technologies (ICT) which gradually ambush visible place in education. For this reason it is important for both students and tutors to be capable to use new methods of supplying and receiving the knowledge. One of possible methods are online learning management systems (LMS) which incorporate principles of social constructionism which is based on the idea that we all better acquire new knowledge within a social process when communicating facts to others and base new knowledge on already known facts. We introduced such online learning environment to a first year students at the Faculty of Education with no previous knowledge or little knowledge of ICT usage. We tried to find out how much time a future preschool teachers need to gain satisfying level of digital literacy and competences for learning and teaching skills with information and educational technology (IET)
