The teaching-learning process has to adapt to changing learning contexts. Technology provides a learner independent in language learning. Thus, technology enables the learner’s efforts easier and faster. At present, there are several online services and some of them are free. It is possible that many more services will be available in future. The purpose of this study is to show what students learn during the course called ‘‘Management Of Virtual Environments For Teaching And Learning Of Foreign Languages’’.
