The organization of classes and assessment system on the Personal Computer Applications (PCA) course, in the professional study of electrical engineering at the Polytechnic of Zagreb, is based on the Moodle system. Moodle is widely used open source application designed for e-learning. This system enables students to prepare for lectures and exercises, while emphasis is placed on their independent and individual work. Students have access to all the necessary teaching materials, applications, tasks and direct communication with the teacher even outside the class schedule. The aim of the PCA course is to point out the wide range of possible applications of personal computers, but still having in mind specific needs for a study of electrical engineering. This paper presents the organization scheme and content of the course lab exercises with the system of assessment, all based on the mentioned objectives and the use of e-learning system, Moodle.
