Whereas higher education flows into the international study environment, the development of e-Learning takes on higher significance. E-Learning is becoming a means to implement virtual student mobility. Virtual student mobility can be realized by giving join e-Learning courses. Join e-Learning courses are e-Learning courses that are delivered for students from different countries. New tendencies of e-Learning development put forward new demands to e-Learning systems. The application of e-Learning systems for giving joint e-Learning courses includes the support of multilingual user’s interfaces, the possibilities of the giving a course content in several languages, and the functions of the grades conversion into the grading scale of student’s institution. The article evaluates the application of e-Learning systems for giving joint e-Learning courses and presents a newly created model of the grades conversion from one grading scale to another. The article also describes the integration of a new created model into Moodle system.
