Cultural Inheritance as Prerequisite to eLearning

Education as process is comprised of two synergy- related segments: learning and teaching. Within each of these segments there are active participants mutually connected to other elements that create education as a complex. These include: education or educational contents, goals planned to be reached and context in which, and because of which, education is being realized. Postulates and mutual dependence of mentioned elements can be observed on several levels. Basic relationship can be observed on a primary level that can be determined by different circumstances. On the other hand, education has in time gone through changes caused by other activities in a real-time and scientific environment. Discovery of computers and their more intensive usage in education opened up huge possibilities, but has also removed some limitation factors such as place and time of performing education. Possibility of virtual implementation of the usual educational unit, a classroom, has made space for other questions and emphasized need for careful treatment of the same. Virtual student and virtual teacher are only apparently virtual while realistically they do exist in space and time. Still, these do posses their own personal culture, customs and habits. Such circumstances can lead to possible misunderstandings and even conflicts that can be anticipated and avoided. Paper analyses students’ and teachers’ attitudes and possible cultural, moral and ethical relationships during the realization of eLearning as process.
