In order to improve teaching quality, web tools are becoming more important. Modern multimedia tools include a wide range of technologies to improve on-line education. At Universidad de Cantabria, several courses are given in a digital teaching web, named Aula Virtual, using state-of-the-art technologies. These new tools approach our students to a new environment, where they can obtain complementary material in the Internet that is not available in classroom or on the Aula Virtual. Nowadays, our group of Business Computer Science offers several subjects in Aula Virtual environment of our university: Introduction to Management Information Systems, Business Computer Science, Management Information Systems and Introduction to E-Organisation.
