Methodology and technologies for online education

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. The educational process is as old as the mankind itself. Education of the younger generation is a complex task and every suitable tool has been used to improve the process. Nowadays, not only modern approaches like the student centric model, gamification, personalization, experience-based learning, problem-based learning, project orientation rather than knowledge acquisition have been introduced, but new technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), interactive multimedia services offer better experience-based learning, faster education and more durable knowledge. Technology solutions are deeply dependent on the economic situation of schools. One of the open problems of online education is distant presence of students and teachers. Telereality is a new keyword and covers the research area of full virtual access to a distant place with 3D audio and video stream and, in specific cases, with multisensorial experience. Many projects have been devoted to online education. Authors have many years of experience in online education within dozens of mostly European projects. The results of these projects show that online education is an extremely complex task with multidisciplinary problems. However, the projects show promising results regarding this topic. Results of the new Horizon 2020 NEWTON will be discussed, too.
