Development of Distance Learning in Croatia

In Croatia there is one large university in the capital Zagreb and several small ones. The small universities are constantly facing the problem of being understaffed, so professors from Zagreb have to lecture in others towns, thus having to travel frequently. We were faced with such a problem with the study “Signals and Systems” where lecturers had to travel to Osijek, which is 270 km away, every week. By introducing new technologies in the education this problem has been solved. All lectures were prepared in the form of presentation in Power Point and the simulations in Matlab. Lectures which are prepared on this way are adapted for distance education - videoconferencing. This paper shows the development of distance education in Croatia and the results of teaching by videoconference in the course of three years.
