Abstract

Thanks to rapid progress in Information Technologies, (IT) and Computational Intelligence (CI) there emerging very effective possibilities for cultivation of education processes. The author focuses attention to the process of hybridisation of economic educational networks by simple IT/CI devices and services. Conventional educational network for economics in this way, which is endowing its one by softbots, myslits and shortly speaking by experimental entities living in virtual laboratories achieving qualitatively very high level of didactics with empowering of constructive character of education. Based on several years’ experience with simple IT/CI devices in social sciences and economics education the author is lays stress on such devices that can be construct in current software like Simulink, STELLA, iDMC, Vensim, SWARM and also in Excel. In this context is valid the claim “in simplicity is hidden the power”. Therefore, it is no need to toil and moil after sophisticated achievements of IT/CI devices rather to consistently put into effect simple easily manageable devices, tools, methods and services. The author is brings examples of using mentioned devices for hybridisation of educational network predominantly for elementary economics in university level.
