In June 2004 r. was published the first issue of "ABC.IT" series - reissued Research and Science Work of Institute of Mathematical Machines devoted to innovative information technologies, e.g. e-learning systems (authoring tools, LMS systems, intelligent e-courses). Next issue will be published in October 2004.

The eighth issue - 2/2007(8) - is particularly concentrated on the functioning of the Moodle e-learning platform. Demonstrates the criterion of evaluation and choose the open source solutions. Articles present the subsequent stages of creation and deployment of the courses on the Moodle platform showing the elements supporting the administration and distance training control process.  Presents the topics of the adaptive knowledge transfer using the tools accessible on the Moodle platform. In the issue reader can find the analysis of the platform interoperability and problem of reliability of tests assessment. Special focus was put on the role of e-mentor in the effectiveness and efficiency of distance learning. That subject was presented on the base of experience of innovative training RENOWATOR Center which has an objective to introduce e-learning into economy sector (www.renowator.org.pl).

The seventh issue - 1/2007(7) - is particulary concentrated on the standard e- learning models. Describes some aspects and traps of the newest SCORM 2004 3rd Edition specification from the  LMS platform user point of view. Demonstrates the topics concerning the tests’ interoperability and the results’ reporting in the e- learning systems by using the IMS Question And Test Interoperability 2.1 Public Draft 2 specification. Illustrates the tools which act together with LMS systems. Shows the example of the tool based on IMS Question and Test Interoperability specification supporting process of testing. Additionally presents the idea of the new standard Common Cartridge (CC) concerning the e-content of new generation. As the practical aspect of e- learning exemplifies the authoring tool for creation non-standard e-courses which stimulate the group cooperation of the distance training participants. In the issue are also presented the examples of good practices in the e-courses’ creation process.

The sixth issue - 2/2006(6) – is a continuation of discussion on e-content subject. It contains the second part of the paper about cooperation between a discipline expert and an instructional designer. It discusses authoring tool selection criteria, which can help to choose a tool, which will allow realizing the designed scenario. It also presents how to use TeleEdu authoring tool to create courses with embedded expert knowledge, as an example of one of the possible e-learning development paths. Expert abilities of e-courses and LMS platforms are on the top of e-learning development, as they allow to create on-line instructional systems and to deliver just-in-time “knowledge pills” to a trainee. The issue contains also a discussion on using virtual mentors in e-courses, as a method for improving quality and effectiveness of e-learning. The results of conducted researches and conformance tests of Moodle e-learning platform with SCORM 2004 specification are published, as well as conclusions and hints for potential users, interested in introducing the platform and/or placing SCORM 2004 conformant tests on it. Moreover, we present The Certified Specialists Database – the place to look for specialists from innovative information technologies, including e-learning, available at  www.renowator.org.pl . The database supports promotion of people with high competencies, confirmed by certificates of science units – System Research Institute and Institute of Mathematical Machines. Summaries and Table of Content.

The fifeth issue - 1/2006(5) – contain, among others, articles on repositories and LMS platforms interoperability. As a continuation of knowledge serving methodology subject, the third part of deliberation on dynamic e-course scenario construction will be presented. In the practical part, we will share with our Readers next experiences in scope of e-learning services delivery, as well as specific of organization and trainings conduction within the framework of RENOWATOR Centre.
Table of contents and abstracts.

The fourth issue -2/2005(4) – is concentrated particularly around present e-learning trends, referring to the global problem of high costs of e-content elaboration and creation. It discusses the new approach of standardization bodies to LMS platforms and authoring tools functionality. T he features mainly stressed are those facilitating multiple use of the same components. Tightly related with it is an efficient dissemination and distribution of e-learning content by automatic e-content repositories. The other articles in this issue concern our present experience as e-learning services supplier. People interested in practical aspect of e-learning will find useful hints regarding remote courses administration. They can also learn about the RENOWATOR Centre ( www.renowator.org.pl ) and about using e-courses in vocational skills improvement process. In scope of methodic, we propose advice for scenarios authors, in TeleEdu eLearning Suite environment.

The third issue -1/2005(3) - contains an extended description of using metadata for standardized (compliant with SCORM 1.2 and SCORM CAM 1.3) dissemination of course information on LMS/LCMS platforms, in repositories, and also in the courses themselves. The other papers refer to the current market trends in scope of e-learning services. They present dynamic scenarios as a base for elaborating an effective e-course and introduce some comparison and evaluation criteria for authoring tools. People, who are interested in practical side of e-learning, will find in the current issue valuable hints concerning the "compliance with SCORM" problem. This subject is based on this year's experience of our experts in cooperation with our partners concerning placing e-courses on e-learning platforms.

The second issue - 2/2004(2) - concerns e-learning technologies as well as e-teaching, because these two areas of electronic education have a lot of relation with each other. The e-teaching rules can be realized only with well-developed technologies, and advantages of technologies can be presented by implementing complex teaching purposes. The main subjects of this issue's papers are the new development directions of electronic education technology, effective knowledge testing, games joining in e-courses pleasant and useful things, rules of instructional designing and instructional designer as a new profession.
