Abstract :
The department of e-learning at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt - Wien - Graz (AAU) offers lecturers the possibility to get support from qualified e-tutors for the successful implementation of e-learning and blended learning elements in their courses. The aim of the `mission e-tutor´ is that they train lecturers to get used to the learning management system “Moodle” and to find tailor-made e-learning and blended concepts that support their courses and didactical conceptions in a sustainable way. Over a period of three years (starting in the summer semester 2009), a total of 41 e-tutors evaluated courses that received e-learning assistance and we received data from 364 lectures that implemented blended learning strategies. Therefore, the current paper provides a first glance at the research results and enables us to start to consider the evaluation of e-tutors blended learning courses at the AAU.
