RUŽOMBEROK (December 6, 2011) - Catholic University of Ruzomberok (CU), Slovakia, has recently come out with several interesting projects. One of them is creation of on-line media dictionary for future journalists. According to Peter Oleksak, main coordinator of the project, prorector of university and referee of educational programme of journalism, this type of explanatory dictionary, covering professional terminology in the area of journalism and religion, doesn’t exist in Slovakia yet. Therefore it will be a significant contribution not only to the process of education itself but also for the society and whole media market. “With implementation of this project we’ll support the use of new methods and forms of education at universities, like advancement of distance forms of study, on-line access, e-learning”, explains Oleksak. Creation of new on-line media vocabulary is sponsored by the Cultural and educational grant agency of the Ministry of education, science, research and sport of the Slovak republic.
