ago only some curricula on Logistics In<strong>format</strong>ion<strong>Systems</strong> could be found then today more than onehundred different tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and learn<strong>in</strong>g activities arerelated with this direction.LMS customer’s database shows that dur<strong>in</strong>g last threeyears more than 6500 users were attended the tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gWeb site. Now the project results are dissem<strong>in</strong>ated tomore than 25 countries of the world.MOBILE M-CONSULTATION – BASEMENT FORSECOND STAGE E-LEARNINGQuick and rapid changes <strong>in</strong> technologies are typicalfor develop<strong>in</strong>g knowledge society. Mostly these changesare related with <strong>in</strong>troduction of the latest achievements ofICTE. Important changes <strong>in</strong> mobile and wirelesstelecommunication technologies reduce service costs andexpand the coverage of cellular networks. It givenpossibilities to apply Personal Digital Assistants (PDA)or Pocket PC <strong>in</strong> m-tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. However, application area islimited due to screen size. Therefore, PDA would bedifficult to use <strong>in</strong> situations with big amount of the studymaterials. However, mobile term<strong>in</strong>al or PDA can besuccessfully used for <strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ion update needs.The functionality of the mobile phones dur<strong>in</strong>g lastyears becomes similar to computer. Today only twoobstacles restrict convenient use of mobile phones foreducational needs. These are limited screen size anddeficient capacity of batteries, which are valid for typicalphone functions, but unsuitable for complete handheldcomputer and GPS receiver functions transfer to cellularphone ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the same level of comfort andefficiency of costs. However, it is the question of closefuture, therefore at the second stage of e-learn<strong>in</strong>gdevelopment on Logistics In<strong>format</strong>ion <strong>Systems</strong> themobile cellular technologies have been <strong>in</strong>troduced.Figure 5.

Dur<strong>in</strong>g theproject time, it was decided to change tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g methodsfundamentally, replac<strong>in</strong>g classic e-learn<strong>in</strong>g with m-consultation and reduc<strong>in</strong>g amount of the study material(see Figure 5).Instead of comprehensive lectures and tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g book itwas decided to prepare as compact as possible concisetra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g dictionary <strong>in</strong> Logistics In<strong>format</strong>ion <strong>Systems</strong>.
