Abstract
Background/Purpose: Multimedia is the combination of visual and audio presentations. These presentations could include elements of text, graphic art, sound, animation, and video. Due to multimedia technologies, the medical information has taken an extraordinary growing.We present a multimedia support to overview of respiration system and to introduce in pulmonary function testing. Multimedia support to communication currents was designed and edited by university teachers, pedagogues and image and computer experts. The presentation stands out with progressive access to the topics through internal links. Stand alone CD with multimedia is an interactive useful software program for medical education and virtual overwiev of human respiratory system testing. During the time that the patients spend waiting in front of the laboratory door they will be able to participate in our interactive multimedia support (IMS) and learn about the procedures awaiting them in laboratory.

Abstract
Background/Purpose: In enterprises, information and communication technologies enable efficient networking and knowledge transfer between employees, customers and business partners. E-leearning has big, yet not sufficiently exploited potential in this process. Increased importance of lifelong learning for individuals as well as for organizations increases also the importance of e-learning which provides a form of learning that can be very efficient. Still, its spreading in enterprises is limited due to their insufficient acquaintance with the possible benefits it could bring from the business point of view. Presentation of successful case studies and combination with traditional learning forms are suggested to bridge this problem. Key words: life long learning, e-learning, distance learning, learning at workplace, e-business, internet

Abstract
Background/Purpose: In the last ten years her average economic growth is 3,9%, while the growth of Baltic States in approximately 5, 5% per year, in Slovakia 4, 3 and in Poland 4.0% per year. Her growth was the most stable and socially endurable, because among all the counted countries it is the only one, whose degree of unemployment and poverty is lower of European average. It is unbelievable that almost 15 years after decline of statism system, the first think that we though about when thing go wrong is what state should do to, to solve the problem. The state should define priority branches and think about where to invest; even instead of firms and banks. State should – instead of free market – judge how many firm we need, in which area and who should handle this activity.The state should – instead of capital market – judge, which owner are suitable for which firm in who will be able to manage it. Common denominator of definition above is the question, how somebody imagine the role of a state in economy and society.There are no common agreement with definition of factors of economical growth and its meaning (human and natural resources, science, technology, innovation and management or enterprise). A fact is that successful firms are aware of meaning of technological changes, which are result of investment in science and applicable research. The special emphasis is on the industrial researches as a source of technological changes and development of business growth. Key words: innovation, technology and market, innovation environment

Distance learning is a special type of education. With the development of informational and communicational technology it became an important part of social activities and it is also one of the fastest evolving areas in education. The quality of learning materials and their distribution are important factors in the process of distance learning. Here I present a model of distance learning, a new approach in education of nursing staff that is overcoming the distance between theory and clinical praxis by including teaching aids as audiovisual recordings, case studies, exercises to repeat ect.

Abstract
Background/Purpose: Learning about software quality is a must for any computer science student. At Faculty of Computer and Information Science it is taught at course named Software Development II, which undergraduate students take in their third year. In article we present a discussion on selection of an appropriate quality model to cover software quality area first. Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a well known and complete model, but it is useful for bigger computer companies mostly. In Slovene case it is better to choose Personal Software Process (PSP) model, which defines process for engineer in software organization. After that the basic characteristics of PSP are presented, and teaching process of Software Development II course explained. Course covers several other Software Engineering themes, but we dedicate our main attention to PSP.A practical exercise is part of course as well, and there students develop a small web application by the PSP principles. Some PSP documents are produced in this way, and those we analyzed at the end of course.We discovered PSP learning was successful, but efficient use demands additional gradual implementation of PSP principles. In last part we present the analysis of anonymous student questionnaire. Results proved that students mark PSP as a useful and practical model. Key words: Software Engineering, Software Quality, Quality Models, Capability Maturity Model (CMM), Personal Software Process (PSP), questionnaire
