Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, the educational system is submitted to some obvious quantitative and qualitative restrictions. Quantitatively speaking, the increase of teachers’ number proportionally with the growth of educational request becomes ineffective and this is a phenomenon characteristic for all worlds’ countries. It involves the need to find new means to diminish the specialists’ pedagogical effort. Simultaneously with the quantitative growth, the educational request also bears deep qualitative mutations. Fewer people want to attend standard and rigid courses which don’t fully correspond to their real needs and their traced line in life. To the “massive growth” of educational offer is opposed a mainly new solution – the “navigation” that allows a massive, diversified and also personified access to the existent knowledge and competencies. These both major restrictions are abolished by the e-learning (education from distance). Actually, the distinction between “stationary” and “distanced” becomes lest pertinent owed to the use of telecommunication networks and interactive media support increasingly integrating into the traditional forms of education and learning. From “lifesaver” for the traditional education, the e-learning as result of appeared restrictions is transforming in norm or at least in distinctive form to organize the educational system. Virtual education features brings new dimensions to provide the knowledge in education field, offering new alternatives at traditional methods.
