Abstract: The use of modern information and communication technologies by people with mild intellectual disability, which enables the application of e-learning methodology, i.e., distant learning based on information and telecommunication technologies, is definitely part of the current trend of media education also in this social group. It is worth remembering that in addition to profits which result from engaging people with mild intellectual disability, such as autonomously making decisions and choices or establishing social relationships, the development of modern information technologies is often related to reduced interpersonal contacts face to face and may contribute to the crisis of fundamental values, which may potentially be dangerous to the person’s mental well-being. The paper discusses the issue of using e-learning education as a modern information and communication technology in the process of educating people with mild intellectual disability. It also analyzes the relationship between using those civilization achievements and the mental well-being of people with mild intellectual disability.

Keywords: intellectual disability, e-learning, Internet, mental well-being
