In the 21st century distance is no longer an obstacle, and the advantages of information technology are gradually changing the way of teaching. The contribution describes modern teaching methods which enable individual work to everyone, including unprivileged groups, such as students with special needs and foreigners. The idea of the website presented is to show the options for learning which are independent from school in terms of space, yet authentic and up-to-date. It enables students to incorporate all necessary adjustments into the learning process, such as space, time, way of learning, etc. In this way pupils are highly motivated to do individual work with information technology (original texts, recordings, music etc.), whereas regarding teachers, it enables flexible work, integration and continuing evaluation. The combination of flipped long-distance learning and online learning paths is an advantage, as the student gets acquainted with the topic beforehand, whereas theoretical processing, revision and evaluation are done later. We have established that it is much more motivational for students to originate from authentic virtual content as it simultaneously leads to the quality of deep learning.

Real-time learning and the use of ICT are the advantages of information technology and the source of a positive attitude towards learning. The pupils are not scared any more, their attention is increased, meaning that the information is stored deeper in their memory. The feeling of happiness and satisfaction while doing research create favourable conditions for an easier transfer of knowledge. The presented website is virtual practice combining pre-preparation, creativity and self-evaluation.
