Multimedia support for individualized learning

Multimedia play growing role in learning. It is possible to use multimedia support not only for demonstrations during the lectures but also to create multimedia material for learning as record of the lecture. Recording lectures and providing recorded material both on-line and off-line is a way to solve otherwise contradictory requirements: how to substantially increase the number of students while keeping the number of teachers and their load constant or even decreasing. Design and implementation of a system for supporting individualized learning process in both synchronous and asynchronous manner are discussed as well as practical experiences with this system. Important role in learning process plays information accessibility and this feature is achieved by the indexing of the lecture record.
