Innovation and quality of education play an increasing role in (under)graduate study programmes and in continuing education for engineers. Technology enhanced learning and teaching can foster the development of educational quality - if implemented and applied in an appropriate way. When applying technology enhanced learning many teachers recognise that it is not sufficient to seek technical solutions for didactical problems but that they also need didactic solutions for technical problems. This first step towards increasing the interest in educational theory among teachers in technical disciplines is not sufficient to push the development of educational quality. Supporting activities and accompanying measures are necessary. Elaborated support structures and a sustainable quality management covering all processes and products of the university are necessary preconditions for achieving the intended results. The interplay of regular study programmes and continuing education can contribute the missing impulse to initiate a sustainable process of quality development.
