The 21st century witnesses a higher demand of democratisation within education together with the modernisation of classes as well as learning with the introduction of modern educational technologies. In this way a new relationship between an individual and the world arises which leads an individual into learning and educating oneself further. Multimedia literacy is the consequence of the expansion of information technology. Due to the fast development of new technologies, education faces new challenges which demand the change of the entire educational system. Before establishing the system of use of multimedia for higher quality education it is necessary to provide the technical support to all schools in Slovenia. With that, the focus needs to be placed on developing digital competences of pedagogical workers. The latter use multimedia in order to make classes more motivating, systematic and demonstrative. The appropriate inclusion of multimedia into classes requires constant systematic and professional quality education of all personnel within the educational area. Research analyses show that multimedia affect the passing on and acquiring of new knowledge in a quality way, however, we need to be aware of their shortcomings. The expansion of multimedia has not only caused huge changes and adjustments within the educational process and society, but has also interfered with man’s deepest life level- one’s personality. It has changed the fundamental values and life orientation as well as designed new patterns of everyday functioning, norms and values of the so-called digital natives.
