Students like something new, better and therefore more interesting, which inspires and enriches them in general. This notion presents a challenge for school as well as for the teachers to listen to the students and provide a suitable studying environment. The teacher can provide the students with more adequate materials, perform better activities and ways of teaching and use equivalent methods. Web classrooms differ in terms of different school subjects. Teachers put various sources and activities in a web classroom and upgrade or change the web classroom in terms of quality. This article presents mostly the qualitative aspect of upgrading the web classroom in Information science lessons, bearing in mind the opinions of the students about the drawbacks, adequacy and quality of each source and activity in the web classroom. There are different possibilities to be used to find out about the students’ opinions regarding the use and quality of the web classrooms. Sometimes even a short conversation or a critical evaluation during the classes is enough. A forum in the web classroom can also be used or a survey can be carried out. It is best to use all three options since students’ critical comments at their first web-classroom entry are very welcome for corrections and changes. The forum enables us to follow the students’ opinions all the time and the survey makes it possible to get more complex opinions. A critical student’s response can serve as new knowledge for the teacher.
