Summary/Abstract: Education is a complex system embedded in a political, cultural and economic context, but Internet breaks all the barriers making information to enter everywhere, to everyone, so quality of educational activity will be improved. Teaching methods and ways of interaction between student and teacher have undergone a profound transformation with the increasing use of information technology. The teacher must change their work instructions, methods, or tools in order to decrease the rate of failure and increase the quality of education. The frequent use of various forms of teaching -learning software, presentation and methods of e-learning - felt the need for better monitoring of student activity, and thus arose a series of computer methods for monitoring and evaluation of the activity of students. Concepts used by Web 2.0 have radically changed the philosophy of Internet communication by integrating innovative methods and tools. Applications such as Wiki, Glossary, Web Calendar, Blog, Forum, Chat, etc.., led to substantial improvement of teaching quality, making them indispensable for achieving a modern and efficient teaching process, making them common tools in teaching process. Besides ease of communication, them offer and trace route of work made by each student, providing a mirror of the evolution of each student, in this way this instruments can become a method of evaluation. In this work, based on theoretical concepts we try to determine how could be implemented these methods and how they are perceived among students. For this we made a research applied to students enrolled in an online master program at ASE Bucharest.
