Usage of Virtual Communication in University Environment

AbstractThis paper inquires into virtual (impersonal) communication in Czech Republic at the University of Hradec Kralove. Virtual communication is impersonal communication through mobile devices and internet. That is for example e-mail, SMS, MMS, instant messaging services, social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), computer games and also virtual environments. The Faculty of Informatics and Management of the University of Hradec Kralove uses many e-learning tools for education, for example WebCT. A virtual faculty is being built in the virtual environment of Second Life. Students have natural tendencies to gather together in groups or forums. That is the reason, why the Czech Science Foundation project #402/09/0662 Decision systems in autonomous systems emerged. This project aims to discover current needs and suggestions for virtual communication from students and pedagogues of the Faculty of Informatics and Management of the University of Hradec Kralove
