Effectiveness and Evaluation of On-line Courses

In this paper we focus on pedagogical effectiveness, not its economic efficiency. In the last period the issue of the evaluation of e-learning is paid much attention. Many authors already discussed the possibilities of measuring the effectiveness of teaching in connection with the electronic form of education, and they often pointed to inconsistencies in the understanding of the term efficiency. Effectiveness of education is a very complex and extensive concept. In its quantification it is necessary to consider a large number of indicators that are often difficult to be precisely measured. Whenever the authors of articles are dealing with the evaluation of eLearning as electronic form of learning, they almost always apply the method of comparison.
