Abstract

The innovative teaching through the electronic learning (eLearning) has in recent years become the strategic effort of many universities. This contribution examines those efforts in three ways: first by searching for the empirical confirmation of the desired “quality improvement”. Next, the question is asked (from the normative point of view) whether the expected quality improvement associated with eLearning is in the first place characteristic for the specific demands of the university in distinction from the other institutions for further training. Finally, the general outline - more a research programme - is given about the issue of “strength of the mediation of meaning” (Sibylle Krämer) of new media in university teaching, i.e. their participation in message content, beyond the related intentions. The basic attitude of the sceptical educationist concerning the eLearning is neither euphoria nor idiosyncrasy, but the sober verification which sets limits to excessive demands and maintains awareness of mostly imprudent premises and unrecognized ignorance.
