Summary/Abstract: This paper reviews research literature on e-learning, teaching process, the motivating system. Specific attention is given to why organizations use e-learning. This research reports the findings of a questionnaire study applied to students of the Faculty of Management and Public Administration of The Bucharest University of Economic Studies. The findings highlight the opportunities, the benefits and the barriers of using the methods of e-learning in the teaching activity and also present the social, cultural and ethical dimensions of it. The article focuses on strategies for improving the learning process while investigating the students’ opinion regarding these modern methods of learning. Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. (Kolb, 1984, p.41) Studies have shown that e-learning is a very useful method of studying. E-learning is a key factor in teaching. Current trends in teaching embrace e-learning tools. E-learning provides some strategies of teaching to perform better in this area. The following article presents how e-learning courses improve teaching practices. Not all teachers are ready to deliver teaching by digital means, but technology has improved the ways of teaching and learning. Also the management of the university has to invest resources in developing the infrastructure to facilitate these modern methods of teaching. This article aims not to demonstrate that the traditional methods must be replaced by modern methods, but to prove that it is better to use the both of them in the teaching process. Another purpose of this paper is to find methods for motivating the students to participate in the teaching process.
