E-literature in E-learning

E-learning, which differs significantly from traditional classroom education, has become a widely acceptable and commonly used means for education nowadays (in any types of educational organizations). This paper will focus on e-literature as it is used in and for the e-learning process; e-literature is not exclusively used in e-learning process as it is also used to complement traditional literature (e.g., hard copy book) in the traditional education process. A great proportion of literature on e-literature mainly deals with issues about its preparation, content, and dissemination. However, an often-neglected view is the readiness of e-learning participants to use e-literature. As such, the current paper seeks to provide an insight into the issues related to participants ’ readiness to use e-literature in e-learning process. To this end, the main objective of this paper is to specify and provide and insight into participant’s readiness to use e-literature in e-learning process. For the purpose of our paper we did a survey among undergraduate students involved in web-supported e-learning process (sample from Slovenia) and undergraduate students involved in fully-online e-learning process (sample from Romania). The paper also lays an important ground work for future research of participant’s attitudes towards using e-literature in the frame of e-learning
