Sažetak
Distance learning is a growingly important component of education. Its low cost and easily accessible education materials are to play an important role in raising overall education level in the world, since Internet access is growing exponentially. At the same time, it allows better flow of labour because it lets students live much further from the University they attend. It also decreases living costs, as well as the costs of the education institution itself. Microeconomics is a discipline easily adaptable to the e-learning process because its graphical representations and complicated deductions can be easily taught using interactive presentations and simple software. Several authors offer a multiple possibilities for implementation of the eLearning systems. We analyzed some cases in which distance learning offers even greater possibilities than the traditional teaching techniques, using illustrative graphs, thorough analytic step-by-step deductions of main microeconomics connecting the theory and practice through the use of statistic and econometric programmes and methods. The final aim of this paper is to introduce more efficient, more comprehensive and cheaper teaching method.
