Abstract:
The exponential development of communication technologies using the Internet induced one of the greatest mankind` struggle: the battle against the space and time physical barriers. Now, we can find a lot of resource data, using a search engine, only using a few finger touches on a computer keyboard. The information data are transferred more rapidly, but we may achieve them only if we choose the correct key word for search. The young generation, the students, have to understand and learn these new information data according to their specialization options, so they should be able to resolve the mankind new problems, when it will be necessarily. There are a lot of "learning achievements", evaluation methods for the students` competences` quality. One of them is the ePortfolio. In the last decades, the physics` theoretical knowledge was dramatically improved by the new findings as: the strings theory, the quarks` theory, the Standard Model etc. Only a part of our students wish to understand and study these data. Using ePortfolio we are able to observe better their knowledge improvements and also, to point out the new findings in physics for the others.
