E-learning development through the course management information systems

At Zagreb School of Economics and Management (ZSEM) we use a combination of traditional teaching with intensive use of e-learning. Each teacher is required to develop e-learning course in accordance with default 11 standards developed by the e-learning group. In this way at ZSEM we currently have about 1,100 students and about 120 advanced e-learning courses. Management Information System (MIS) Course students at ZSEM take in 7th semester. In this paper we will show how to connect all the elements of Course Syllabus with e-learning system: online tests, discussions, WebCT activities, exercises, etc. Special attention is given to group projects and ability to project groups to jointly discuss, submit weekly reports and to project documentation within the LMS system. The research will show whether there is a correlation between the activities of students in a closed discussion among project groups and final grade.
