Abstract :
As the way of managing the distance learning process are commonly used LMS and LCMS, but it can also serve as a supplement of full-time study. In our case we teach with the support of e-courses, in which teachers insert different types of static as well as dynamic (interactive) materials. The importance of the interactivity in e-learning courses is often neglected. The interactivity allows learners to develop and shape their thinking, knowledge and skills. The paper deals with using of open-source simulator of electronic components and logic gates (logics) in LMS Moodle. It deals with the possibility of interactive communication between the Java applet and the Moodle server. Students are able to send the realized task in the form of the screenshot of logic circuits directly from the applet to teachers.
