  • Abstract
    The Web page of the course statistics has been experimentally created and based on the Bologna process requirements with the goal to develop a model of the teaching process which would be supplemented by the online dialogue. It has been estimated that in order to develop generic skills, the students need a special motivation which was expected to be reached by the development of a students´ documentary tool. The professors use this newly created Web page as a joint Web space with teaching materials and new communication tools. The Web page visits analysis has shown that precisely the documentary tool and the forum were the most visited notifications that have contributed to remedy the ambiguities in the teaching process communication channel and to the growth in the student motivation for the statistics course class participation.
