Most of the teaching at tertiary institutions in the Czech Republic is now supported online, usually in the form of various e-learning courses because students appreciate having study materials within their easy reach and being able to see and read once again the lecture texts or other materials from their face-to-face classes. It is also true that students particularly prefer to exploit study materials in their e-courses. Unfortunately, there are not many empirical studies addressing pragmatic issues such as the form of online study materials. Thus, the purpose of this article is to discover with the help of an online questionnaire survey conducted at the Faculty of Informatics and Management of the University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, what kind of online study materials students prefer so that the teacher/tutor could adjust his/her online teaching materials to students’ needs. In conclusion the authors emphasize the importance of and unique role of multimedia in designing the online study materials.
