The aim of this paper is to challenge the hypothesis: “the use of computers and the Internet in the teaching of economic modules does not affect student learning and retention.” Research restrictions stipulated that the research was to be conducted at Institutes for Professional Training, during spring semester, 2007–2008. Seventy students, in total, participated in the research, comprising three classes of 25, 25 and 20 students respectively. “Money – Banks – Elements of Banking Techniques” was the course attended by these three classes. The lessons of the three classes took place in the computer laboratory where 25 computers were installed.
