The impact of the independent students’ work on the digestion of the university physics course is under investigation. Different teaching materials for physics course inter alia teaching movies are available for all students in the common university electronic platform. In each teaching movie some experiments devoted to the one physical phenomenon are showed and processes taking place are described. The created electronic platform is able to control all activities of users of teaching materials: time, frequency and duration of usage of each material. In this investigation we try to compare and analyze test answers and grades of students who have watched movies with ones of students, which do not watch them.
