Abstract
The learning environment under discussion is free from deadlines or any other restriction of formal systems (no regular actions, including lectures). Instead, a student has access to a web-based learning environment where the basic element is a task which is connected to a set of low-level competences. Learning itself means activation of competences, automatically or manually, at lower or higher level and automatic processing of student’s answers. It is expected that reaction from the system is instant and so the student has discussion with a partner who is smart enough to motivate the learner. Such an environment produces quite different behavior from learners and new effects and problems appear.
