Abstract :
The paper explores Web technology, specifically social networking, which supports students´ activity to enhance acquisition of Electrical Engineering disciplines. The results of the three-year study of the institutional learning management system, the thematic-oriented site, and the social network are presented. It was found that management of the learning content that combines various Internet services provides a suitable technology for students, being the social leverage to share and generate knowledge and experience.
