“…As already stated by Nerguizina et al (2010), even though e-learning occurs on technological tools, human beings and tutors have an essential role in engaging and motivating students. The findings confirm Rothkrantz (2017) theory that monitors and professors can impact students' achievement, motivating, and creating good emotions in them in an online environment.…”

“…The main variables of e-learning are human beings and tutors, and they still have an essential role in engaging and motivating students, even on a technological platform (Nerguizina et al, 2010). Support quality may be related to practical assistance with technology and computer (Hart, 2012) and to pedagogical support influencing how learning and teaching should be delivered considering interaction, collaboration, and communication between learners and teachers in the e-learning environment (Masoumi & Lindström, 2012).…”

In recent years, e-learning has been the fastest growing educational form in students' numbers, and this industry's market revenue (Lee, Choi, &Kim, 2013). Despite this growth, concern about the significantly higher student dropout rate of students in online courses as compared with conventional learning environments has increased. Brazil has also registered a significant increase in the number of students interested in this type of education, but the dropout rate is a considerable concern to institutions. This study’s objective was to identify the relevant variables behind online students’ dropout decision in Brazil. After a literature review that determined the ten most recurrent and relevant variables, we heard professional e-learning experts. They indicated, from their standpoint, what the most pertinent variables influencing dropout would be. Based on this, we conducted a quantitative survey with e-learning students, considering the factors indicated in the literature on this subject and educational professionals’ indications. This study's contribution was to verify that the quality support is extraordinarily relevant and has a high correlation with students' perception of Usefulness, the quality of Course Content, and ease of System Use.

“…At a time in which universities are under great pressure to deliver education, combining technology with education is integral to coming up with a final product that will empower the educational institution, set it apart, and allow it to grow its student base worldwide. The European Commission proposes a broad definition of e-learning: "using new multimedia technologies and the Internet to improve the quality of learning by providing access to resources and services, as well as distance exchange and collaboration" (quoted in Nerguizian V. and all., 2011). In many organizations and institutions, e-learning has been completely adopted as part of the training strategy.…”

The introduction of innovations in traditional education systems has imposed the need for adjustments and changes to the entire education system and its participants. The most important moment in the evolution of educational systems is the emergence of e-learning platforms as a result of the growing importance of lifelong learning and their integration into traditional educational environments. Especially nowadays, when the world is facing with the pandemic of Covid 19, the importance of the e-learning process and the use of distance learning platforms comes to the fore. The Faculty of Economics in Prilep is adapting to the new situation. For the realization of the process of distance learning were used the tools of Google, i.e. the G Suite cloud-based tools, such as Google Meet, Google Classroom, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Drive etc. In this paper we will explore the perceptions of students at the Faculty of Economics in Prilep in terms of the benefits provided by these tools and the challenges faced by students in such a new situation where teaching took place completely on-line. For that purpose, a survey was conducted in which students from all study years were included. In this paper will be presented a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained answers through the survey. The questionnaire was created with Google Forms and was delivered to students through the e mail. The main aim of this paper is to detect student’s perceptions of the use of cloud-based elearning tools. In the future, when creating and accrediting study programs, the recommendations contained in this paper could be taken into account in order to introduce elearning as a one of the possible ways for realization of educational process.

“…Instead we emphasize the developing entrepreneurship skills and critical thinking of students. The use of components of active learning makes this course efficient, see for example (Beranek and Remes, 2012;McKeachie and Svinicki, 2006;Ngai, 2007;Nerguizian et al, 2011;Renkl et al, 2002;Rezaee et al, 2006 andWilliams et al, 2006) and attractive for students. During the course, students are divided into small teams in which they solve a series of tasks.…”

Abstract.One of the main goals of many educational courses at various colleges, especially those which focus on applied economics and management, is the development of students' entrepreneurship skills. It is usually accomplished through various project-oriented tasks. The development of the students' entrepreneurship skills is also the primary objective of the E-commerce course offered by our Faculty of Economics. This course combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Students work on a number of practical exercises with the aim to create a functional e-shop. They have to look for business opportunities, understand economic processes, work within a team, and be able to promote their ideas, strategies, and procedures. Finally, yet most importantly, they must not be afraid to present and defend their solutions. This study examines whether and to what extent this approach contributes to the development of skills which are usually associated with entrepreneurship. The exploration was performed based on students' evaluation. Means-end chain model and hierarchical value map approach were chosen as a research method. The results of this research show that entrepreneurship skills are being developed except for a motivation of students to accept a risky business competitive environment. However, the propensity to take risk is one of the basic traits of successful entrepreneurs. Our future effort will aim therefore at modifying our educational content. Greater emphasis will be placed on how to teach students to accept competitive environment which is risky and mostly unpredictable.
