Abstract
Recently trends in methodology and technology of development of information systems strictly indicate the frames known as cloud computing. Information system located in cloud provides his user with certain advantages, but is also represents a certain challenge. It also requires an increased attention and additional care about the system´s safety. Problems are of the general character, meaning they are equal regardless to the business function which information system is being developed. Though several decades have passed from the original efforts of implementing the ICT in educational frames, the real treatment of activities known as eLearning require additional considerations in education. eLearning should be treated as information system with all its features and additional specificities. Independence of place and time of realisation provides an additional possibility. This refers to the possibility of integrating the personal user´s equipment in eLearning. Trend in practical information science, referred as BYOD trend, presumes that final users approach to business resources with help of their personal devices: smart phones, tablets and laptops. This paper examines the readiness of student and teachers to adopt such teaching modes.
