PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES WITH LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MOODLE IN AVIATION TRAINING

The paper deals with the implementation and sharing practical experiences of the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle, which was deployed for a specific group of educators. The group consisted of pilots in a private aviation training company where the system is currently implemented and serves as educational support. This specific group of educators required specialized study support according to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation). Examination tools and test sets were produced in standardized form, based on the Ministry of Transport. In the paper we compare the requirements of educator and administrator from the perspective of the system and in terms of e-tutor. To find the suitable system for education and training was necessary to study the concepts of e-learning. The main area that has been studied is WBT - Web Based Training. WBT is a subset of e-learning. It is an ideal tool for providing. training for individuals, anytime, anywhere in the world. Advances in technology, computer networks, and improvements in bandwidth deliver unlimited access to multimedia. Web browsers that support 3-D virtual reality, animation, interaction, chats, conferences and real-time audio and video offer unique learning opportunities. With the tools we have available today, we have assembled a highly efficient WBT to meet the needs of training. At WBT it is important that the device on which the web application is operated can be a different type - tablet, mobile phones, laptops, desktops. It contains in addition to text documents various simulation and visualization of selected events. This significantly helps to understand difficult phenomena and systems not only in aviation. The real outcome of this study is a functional educational system developed according to flight standards and deployed in a flight school company. In the paper we will describe the functionality of the system.
