Abstract :
The use of multimedia in the educational process is currently considered almost for granted. Most universities and also many secondary schools have created to study e-learning courses, in which are incorporated multimedia elements. Not always and not for each school subject are important elements of multimedia. In this article we will discuss the use of multimedia elements in teaching Discrete Mathematics in the Department of Computer Science Faculty of Natural Sciences in Nitra. During the two years we have carried out an experiment in which students completed a pretest and two post-test aimed at measure their knowledge of the issue. Embodiments and details of the course experiment as well as on the results obtained we write later in this article.
