itpossible to optimize the requirements of the modern society, so a lot of institutions for highereducation throughout the world are developing and offering new teaching methods to thestudents, as so called virtual teaching. E-Learning, supported by the fast development ofcomputer technology as well as by the processing of the Internet in the 1990`s, manages a verygood acceptance in different educational areas at all universities across the globe. E-Learningalso provides new possibilities for personalized learning in the workplace, in the classroom or athome. E-learning can be defined as instructional content or learning experiences aiming to learnand increase visitors’ knowledge and skills in order to be more productive which gives a boost totheir

Clearly, without proper team structure even initiallyenthusiastic and highly motivated team members can later come to believe that no one owns theproject and that no one cares about their success or failures. When no one is accountable toanyone then no one is responsible for anything.The likelihood of a successful team throughout the project and the team’s performance at thecompetition significantly improves if the students feel that their advisor(s) is genuinely interestedin the project.19 This interest and caring, on the part of the advisor, can successfully bedemonstrated in several ways, even when the faculty advisor allows the students to run their ownproject.
