Abstract
The contribution is focused on the specifics of distance education in the Czech Republic. First, reasons of emergence of distance education in the Czech Republic and abroad are analyzed. Further, two possible directions of development of e-education in the Czech Republic are outlined, where the first direction represents an expansion of capacities of the existing full-time courses. The second possible direction consists of customization of educational courses according to specific needs of students. The contribution includes definitions of individual participants of the educational process, typology of costs and revenues and break-even point modeling.
