ABSTRACT

A large number of institutes of higher education have decided on introducing e-learning by using a so-called ‘learning management system’. Lecturers use this system to provide course information and to upload their PowerPoint presentations and additional reading texts on the Web. They use e-mail and newsgroup facilities in addition to their lectures and seminars. However, in most cases the learning management system and the digital materials are used in addition to the regular teaching activities, and the basic paradigm of teaching and learning has not changed at all.
