Peer Reviewed Journal via three different mandatory reviewing processes, since 2006, and, from September 2020, a fourth mandatory peer-editing has been added.
The article is on the issues of using new ICT tools in the European
educational area and carrying joint research works. The subject of
the research were the forms of the traditional and electronic communication
used within the virtual HERN organisation - Higher
Education of Network Reforms – established by representatives
of the academic circles as well as decision-makers. Special attention
was paid to the e-forum. Also, the role of the moderator
was analysed with reference to the e-forum. The author tried to
determine the reason for low attendance during the e-argument.
A method of analysis of documents and participating observation
was applied. A technique of the questionnaire form and a method
of case study were used to examine a group of HERN users. Results
demonstrated that partners were becoming more involved in
forms of face-to-face communication, such as conferences, than
into forms of electronic communication. The most important barriers
in the e-communication that have been determined included
technical, linguistic and time-related problems.
