Abstract
This paper is a part of a broader E-Girls project on the Vaasa area. The aim of this paper is to compare between genders the students´ feedback on the web course Electricity, Electronics and Environment for the senior secondary school. Also, the results of the exam were analyzed according to gender. According to the feedback for girls the lesson about electric systems was the most interesting and for the boys the usage of electrical appliances. Girls did better in the exam than boys. Girls did better than boys especially in the questions that required traditional memorizing, while in practical questions there was not a remarkable difference.
