Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of an electronic-learning system in the area of water power plants within the framework of teaching renewable energy resources. Based on written scenarios the teaching modules in this area of science are realized. The control of the studying and testing modules is accomplished with the help of a Petri network, and the structure of the teaching modules is presented in a few examples. This part of the project, which is the subject of a university study program, is implemented in a special multimedia laboratory as an additional part of the conventional lecture and exercises in the subject of renewable energy resources. Student comments on this new way of teaching are also presented.
