Using an electronic book in distance education

In scope of the project "Phare Multi - Country Programme for Distance Education" in years 1997/98 and 1998/99 we formed more learning material for the need of our new Distance Learning Centre. The reason for forming this kind of learning material was that we became aware that new forms and methods of distance learning had to assure the bigger independence of students in the whole learning process and enabled periodic information and more realistic knowledge control. In this article we present some experience we had by forming an electronic book for subject Office automation and some students' opinion about studying with help of the electronic book.
