Abstract (EN): This paper describes the work that the authors have been developing to assist under-graduate electrical engineering students in their study of basic electronics. This work is primarily aimed at ordinary students but the authors intend to extend it for special students -- those that work or live far away -- who have limitations in attending normal lectures. The work consists firstly in a text to be explored on the Internet and will include solved and unsolved problems, circuit simulations, animated gifs to illustrate theorems or circuit transformations and, eventually, short video streams where the authors explain what they think is more difficult to be done otherwise. Simultaneously, a paper text is being prepared to be also given to the students. As it is intended to complement the electronic version, special features have to be considered. In this phase the work has concentrated in the first set of items listed above (text, problems and simulations) and a group of students is testing its effectiveness. Moreover, the work started focusing only in some chapters but will be extended to cover all the classical topics covered normally by basic electronics textbooks.
