How Does the Attitude to New Media influence the Evaluation of a new e-Learning Platform Among Current and Future Teachers?

The aim of this study is to show the relationship between the attitude to new media in the group of future and current teachers and the evaluation of the new e-learning platform. The research problem is closely related to the development of digitally mediated education. It is the teachers who first experiment and are responsible for implementing new digital solutions in education. The research focuses on the juxtaposition of the motivation factor and evaluation of the new tool - learning environment - SELI (Smart Ecosystem for Learning and Inclusion) platform. The survey was conducted in Poland - Pedagogical University of Krakow in May-July 2020 on a sample of 226 people, mixing students (83.3%) and active teachers (16.7%) raising their professional qualifications. On the basis of the collected data, it was noted that: 1) positive attitude to media in one area of use, e.g. private is linear with positive attitude in another area, e.g. professional 2) attitude to new media is constant and does not change under the influence of testing new educational environments 3) the vast majority of teachers and future educators positively assess the use of ICT in education 4) only about 25% have mixed opinions about increasing motivation and involvement of students under the influence of ICT.
