Abstract: E-learning was first introduced at the Faculty of Management (FM) in the academic year 2002/2003. Until now the same course has been carried out for full-time and part-time students. The course was supported by a virtual learning environment. The blended learning approach was used as the e-learning model. The teacher's assessments were based on students' weekly activities and achievements. Differences between groups of students and the differences caused by using a different blended learning approach will be presented bellow. Apart from the differences that were found, some common characteristics arose; namely students appreciating the introduction of innovative learning methods and the tutor's support in the e-classroom. Considering the students' appreciation of the introduction of e-learning, further development of e-learning practices is recommended. Online training courses for teachers and tutors are being organized at the faculty and further research regarding the impact of e-classroom usage on all participants of e-learning are being carried out at this moment.
