Pri delu z elektronskimi učnimi gradivi vse prevečkrat naletimo na gradiva, namenjena učiteljem v pomoč pri njihovem izvajanju izobraževanja, pri katerih pa avtorji ne izrabljajo možnosti, ki jih prinašajo nove tehnologije. Vse prevečkrat so gradiva (ali vsaj večji deli le-teh) monolitna, sestavljena kot običajni tiskani učbeniki in delovni zvezki; torej na način, da jih učitelj mora vzeti kot celoto v točno predpisanem vrstnem redu. Je to res nujno? Mar resnično vsi učitelji potrebujejo gradiva v enaki obliki, enakem vrstnem redu, z enakimi zgledi in nalogami? Zakaj ne bi izrabili možnosti, ki jih nove tehnologije ponujajo, in učitelju dali vsaj možnost, da gradivo prilagodi svojim potrebam in s tem tudi učencem.
Na podlagi primerov učnih gradiv, ki so nastali pri pripravi projektov UPAM (Učenje programiranja – kako poučevati začetni tečaj programskega jezika – http://up.fmf.uni-lj.si in Aktivna matematika – http://am.fmf.uni-lj.si), si bomo ogledali, kako je s tem pristopom učitelju omogočeno, da gradiva uporabi na njemu najprimernejši način.

Abstract

When working with e-teaching materials, we all too often find that the authors of such materials – intended to help teachers in the teaching process – do not exploit the opportunities offered by new technologies. Too often materials (or at least the bulk of them) are a monolithic block built in the same way as an ordinary book or workbook. This requires the teacher to take them as a whole, precisely in the order they were written in. Is this really necessary? Do all teachers need the same form of resources, do they want to use them in the same order, and do they want their students to see the same examples, do the same exercises? Why not use the opportunities offered by new technologies and at the very least give teachers the chance to adapt materials to their own and their students' needs.
Some teaching materials developed in the course of two projects – UPAM (Teaching programming – How to teach a beginner course in a programming language: http://up.fmf.uni-lj.si) and Active Maths (http://am.fmf.uni-lj.si) – will serve as an example of how such resources enable teachers to use the materials in the way they want to.
