Summary form only given. The article describes short history of development of SANET network optical infrastructure for research and education. The current status, new trends and future perspective of optical infrastructure for schools in Slovakia will be presented. The Slovak Academic Network - SANET has been built in frame of SANET II project and the network covers all Slovak universities and scientific institution in 27 Towns. The communication technology which is used is fully based on dark fibre. Several project running on the optical infrastructure. Start with the access to grid and installed supercomputer with MPP on the SANET network infrastructure. Also running project “SANET to schools” witch make possible 1 Gbps connection to more than 600 secondary schools will be presented.

The exponential growth of mobile technology, advances in wireless technologies and popularity of handheld devices, have opened up new accessibility opportunities for education. A characteristic of today's society is the increasing use of modern information and communication technologies in all areas. Investment in mobile device is an important step to improve the quality of life in our dynamic society. The paper analyses the impact of m-learning on the educational process and describes characteristics of m-learning applications. For the evaluation of characteristics are described metrics and measured values are used to determine the m-learning application overall quality level. The value is determined by aggregating each factor value and taking into consideration importance coefficient.

Evaluation and validation user data during practical exams, trainings, interviews or another type of testing is tedious, error prone mission. The more difficult this mission becomes when there is more than one way for job-seeker or student to do the desired task. Setting up the environment consisting of multiple nodes on which the challenge should be accomplished is equally tedious also. This paper presents novel approach which makes this mission easier. We present an easy way how to setup environment based on open-source software which can be use in real world scenarios like training, testing or practicing.

For a long time, people have been trying to find ways that would lead to more effective teaching. Simultaneously, study and teaching supports have been developing. Current information technology, electronics and microprocessor technology have brought completely new possibilities into creation of study supports. They also allowed a new way of study supports creation and their direct connection with external systems. It is basically about the transition from static to dynamic creation of study supports. Also, the possibility of direct connection of study supports with external systems enables all that was impossible up to now, such as creation of study supports for a target group and the ability to monitor and manage students' practical activities or responses to these practical activities and modify study supports according to students' results. This is the prerequisite for the creation of study supports with internal intelligence. This paper summarizes the results of a research which has been conducted at our department for several years.

In the globalised world teaching international groups in higher education is inevitable. Students travel everywhere with exchange programs to spend one or two semesters at a university in another country. In Europe students have different attitudes towards study, course materials and tutors. Tutors have to prepare for new teaching methods in intercultural environment. This paper collects the cultural dimensions that are emerging in teaching difficulties in intercultural groups in higher education and describes how IT can mitigate these difficulties.

Summary form only given. Cloud Computing as an emerging technology is a new paradigm in Information Technology and can dramatically change our everyday life. The presentation summarizes the basics of cloud computing, namely the main idea, the definition, the cloud model composed of essential characteristics, service models and deployment models. In the second part of the presentation the new perspectives of cloud computing based education are discussed. Some higher educational institutions do not have sufficient hardware or software to provide the students full learning environment and experience. This problem is particularly important in various fields of Engineering Education. Cloud computing provides Service as a Service(SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which allow the students to access the latest technologies with a low budget. The last part of the presentation includes some tips for planning Platform as a Service (PaaS), SaaS and Iaas and reflects some security problems.

At our department, students can study virtual reality technologies and their problematic (Department of computers and informatics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics of Košice - DCI FEEI TU of Košice). Study of virtual reality technologies is divided into two parts. First part focus on theoretical knowledge and second part focus on practical knowledge. This paper presents practical exercises during which students earn practical experiences about virtual reality technologies (3D scanning, augmented reality, head-mounted display, 3D displays and 3D printing). This paper also presents our experiences and students' feedback to this education.
