In the present study, we analyze the students’ reaction to the introduction of Web 2.0 as teaching-learning environment in digital economic theory, in a society where the internet was introduced in 1990. The article is the result of a research extended over two years. The research focuses on the study of behavior observed to the students with computer usage knowledge in relation to the translation of their activities on Moodle platform. The students belong to a department of Economics Informatics of a Romanian University. Specifically, we sought if Moodle with its facilities to assist/guide the student in the learning process can increase the percentage of those who will assimilate knowledge of databases theory apply in economic fields, compared to traditional ways of teaching. The outcome of this study can be considered favourable on Moodle application.
