Teach the Teachers - E-Learning in Further Education for Lecturers in Higher Education

Abstract

The article focuses on how lecturers in higher education use e-learning not only in a teaching role, but furthermore as learners in further education. An insight into two empirical studies concerning the use of media in e-learning contexts in general and social media and tablet use in particular built the basis. Requirements for e-learning tools as well as demands on the teaching and learning settings will be illustrated. Based on the empirical results innovative e-learning settings for further education have been designed.
