In this article there is observed e-learing study support in subjects focused on physics, mainly in praktikum of these subjects. Teaching e-learning software made by collective of physics teachers at Mendel university in Brno is possible to use as a electronic exercise book, homework aid for solving of laboratory homework, dataprojector presentation in teaching and also as a examination of students by means of didactic tests. It is necessary to be mindful that programme is valid, simplify studying and also to raise deeper interest in physics. The goal of teaching aid is to simplify studying process and create possibility for teachers to devote all students to a higher extent. Important fact is of course contribution such a support for students themselves. E-learning support can be very valuable, highly developed and contributive but if it is not accepted by all students, all devoted lessons for its creation would be useless. That is why it is very important to monitor regular feedback of students who have a chance to use these supports, afterwords to adapt them according to actual both teachers requests and mainly students requests. It is also very suitable if students have a chance to make a choice among several study supports because not all students are same.
