In the research project GACR 406/09/0669 “Evaluation of the benefits of modern technologies in the process of formation and development of competencies of students in higher education“, a pedagogical experiment was conducted at the Faculty of Informatics and Management in the University of Hradec Kralove, the aim was to determine whether appropriate use of eLearning in higher education, leads to comparable student performance in the field of cognitive learning. The research subject is a comparison between student performance achieved in the experimental group in the cognitive area, with the student performance obtained in the traditional full-time form of teaching in the course of Principles of Management I.The aim of this paper is to describe the experiment carried out (methodology) and the results which are focused on the comparison of the student performance participating in the experiment. Therefore, the sub-hypothesis will be verified: Students in the experimental group will achieve a comparable performance in cognitive learning by the end of the experimental teaching as the students taught by the traditional full-time form of teaching.
