As commonly known, a tutor´s role changes when teachers appoint her/him as an e-tutor. A requirements analysis, which was carried out at our university, shows more and more teachers believe that e-tutors have to be soft skilled particularly in e-moderation and online communication skills. To account for such requirements, existing university e-tutoring curriculums have to adopted. This paper describes a curriculum design and investigates the utilisation of videoconferencing within e-tutoring. We believe that due to videoconferencing´s simultaneousness, multimodality and real-time characteristic it represents one of the most demanding Computer mediated Communication tool to moderate. Therefore, videoconferencing suits ideally to training of e-moderation skills. So for, most publications about e-moderation only describe basic aspects of moderating within online learning or teaching, while hardly any publication considers using videoconferencing in e-tutoring in particular. With `nine recommendations´ we thus try to close this gap. These `nine recommendations´ are given for teachers as a reference on, how to apply videoconferencing effectively in training of moderation-skills within the limits of a university e-tutoring curriculum.
