Andrea Kelz<br />

Within the last seven years it has proved that the use of ICT requires a continuous process of<br />

development of competencies online teachers should have and demands professional preparation<br />

and proper pedagogical and didactical training. Face-to-face teaching has remained central in our still<br />

campus-based institution and blended <strong>learning</strong> is mainly received as distance <strong>learning</strong>, enriched by<br />

ICT, supplementing on-campus degree programmes. In future even more emphasis will have to be<br />

put on the pedagogy and didactics of blended <strong>learning</strong> as some teachers unfortunately still think that it<br />

is possible to simply transfer their teaching material and activities used in the classroom to the web.<br />

Many teachers still have to learn how to cope with the role of becoming facilitators in the <strong>learning</strong><br />

process and have to realize that a <strong>learning</strong> management system is more than a digital library to store<br />

and provide <strong>learning</strong> materials. Only then they will stop to wonder why no one uses the discussion<br />

forums they provided in their courses.<br />
