E-learning in engineering studies - experience of the Ilmenau University of Technology

The integration of e-learning elements and e- assessments in the learning and teaching scenarios is more than 10 years standard at the TU Ilmenau. This concerns in particular the engineering studies. The used materials and tools are developed in the past at different faculties and thus very heterogeneous in relation to technology, usage scenarios, and content. The pilot project "Basic Engineering School" provides opportunities for the further integration and development of the educational technologies used. This article describes approaches and methods to the further developments well as first experiences.
