Model for enhanced learning through the use of three difficulty levels in e-learning courses

With the introduction of internet-based course management system MudRi, a great number of university professors at the University of Rijeka are trying to integrate on-line teaching tools in their lecturing structures. Since there are no uniform model for integrating e-learning courses into traditional lectures, the problem is to choose the right approach that will ensure that course material is enriched through e-learning implementation. In this paper a model that uses three difficulty levels in e-learning courses is described. In this way students that have different prior knowledge of the subject material are able to choose their appropriate level (repeat, expand or advance levels) and quickly achieve obligatory learning objectives. On the other hand, by transforming their course material in appropriate way, teachers are able to use the time they spend in the direct contact with their students to concentrate on the parts of the material that can be best transferred through traditional teaching approaches.
