English abstract:
Application of e-learning tools highly modifies tutorsī requirement profiles. Once teachers deploy
regular tutors as e-tutors, further competencies (e-skills) are needed to be able to coach students
within academic settings. Most publications about education and training to qualified e-tutors show
either unique or rather restrictive requirements or are highly extensive and therefore canīt be applied
to university demands. Therefore, this paper describes a procedure model enabling to consider
university-specific requirements within education and training to e-tutors. The first step of our approach
consists of a requirement analysis based on a preliminary questioning of teachers. Results pointed out
that teachers demand specific e-skills from future e-tutors, such as e-moderation as well as
communication competencies. To increase studentsī motivation, our e-tutoring concept was
broadened by utilisation of videoconferencing. The application of videoconferencing as the major
moderation tool enabled mediating new technology-related experiences to students. In conclusion, it
can be stated that videoconferencing highly supported studentsī activities, participation as well as
motivation within our e-tutoring training. Students also reported high overall contentedness, especially
emphasising immediateness of moderation-related experience and gaining insight into authentic
tutoring scenarios.
