Abstract: The article is a brief summary of the authors’ experience with using e-learning technology in courses held by the universities in the Slovak republic and abroad. Both of them teach courses at Slovak universities and on universities abroad. Their students come from different countries, different cultures, and different learning groups. How is e-learning technology practical, comfortable or hazardous for working in such different conditions? Working with different LMS, virtual rooms and authoring tools brought to us a lot of experience. It shows to us that technical progress is remarkably fast and the technology is much more reliable than before. At the same time, there persists problems on the users’ (both teachers’ and students’) side. The course content and context as well as teachers’ activity are still crucial and remain the decisive factors of success.
