Abstract :
The problems in the e-learning course market (for example their low sales compared to mobile applications) show that besides the development of new technologies, it is necessary to also pay attention to other factors that affect the creation of meaningful courses. These factors are the content of said courses, as well as their real applications as related to their didactic and educational aims. Furthermore, attention has to be paid to the administration and maintenance of courses and the training of educators in their proper use. In this article we aim to show the risks of over-dependence on ICT technologies in the teaching of mathematics, and suggest who should be preparing meaningful e-learning courses.
