Abstract :
eLearning, as one of the organised form of learning and teaching, frequently moves centre of attention towards one of its constitutional elements. Though the central line, teacher - student that practically constitutes learning basically doesn´t change the importance of neither, it still creates different relationships in the realisation. Learning contents can also appear in centre of consideration, both on organisational and execution level. Determination of content depends not solely of teacher - student relationship, but also of goals which learning tries to accomplish. Regardless to the use of traditional learning or more modern forms of eLearning and mLearning, the holders of information, like books and similar gradually tend to be replaced by electronic media and virtual bookshops. Communication dimension of eLearning provides a possibility of forming the eClass and creating the adequate groups of students which traditional learning cannot generate. Paper considers the level of changing the learning content´s role through verifying and analysing the relationship between students and teachers and social networks and social software. Special attention has been concentrated on confidence towards such forms of learning contents in comparison to their mode of creation and preservation.
