Thework was undertaken in the Pedagogical Faculty, Ostrava University, Ostrava, Czech Republic.The fundamental presumptions and hypotheses that the work intended to verify concerned thepresupposed increase of efficiency of students’ learning, as well as opportunities to model thetransition of students in a relevant way through an e-learning course. The main research methodused was a pedagogical experiment that, following several years’ analysis, took place in the winterterm of the 2008/2009 school year.The important contribution is the methodology of generating Petri Nets that represent students’transition through an e-learning course. The models of real transition for students, through a coursecreated by Petri Nets, confirmed the possibility to model tutorial processes in this way.
