The use of web has become an attractive option for the development of learning environments due to the high interactive interfaces which computers have throughout their multimedia resources - graphic, videos, animation and simulation. Here is presented an analysis of the influence of ConcWeb online virtual environment on the learning process for reinforced concrete design. Data was collected by student's exams and longitudinal study was employed to obtain the results. All measurements were obtained during the course of one semester were adjusted to hierarchical linear models in order to describe the students' learning trajectories. A positive influence of ConcWeb in the students' learning process was shown by the final results. Since the students are stimulated to access the virtual environment, ConcWeb is a great tool to assist them in the process of learning reinforced concrete design as well as to assist lectures, teach the subject to engineering majors.
