Information technology focused training in logistics

Recent developments in information technology and telecommunications call for a serious reconsideration of the actual training methods and offer wide opportunities for developing active teaching/training methods. This paper shares the empirical study on developing information technology focused training laboratory for the course Logistics Information Systems. The descriptions of the three implemented laboratories are presented, as well as didactical comments about the outcomes of investigation of the above-mentioned labs are discussed. The developed laboratories give students a new impulse for both understanding of logistics from a technical point of view and developing their hands-on skills. The paper could be considered as experience sharing with colleagues teaching the subject of Logistics.
