The paper presents the results of the application of the project-based learning approach during the last academic year (2020-2021), in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the course "Databases", when teaching and studying the topic "Relational Algebra". During the project-based learning, students-bachelors from the specialty "Internet and Mobile Communications" at the University of Ruse "Angel Kanchev" had to use various computer-based tools, such as MS Excel, MATLAB, LearningApps, etc., to present the basic operations in relational algebra. An analysis of students’ opinions about the approach used for their training in the course "Databases" is given in the paper.
