In cooperation with the eLearning Lab “eLab” of BUW, and support from the project partner Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), the project coordinator Bauhaus-University Weimar (BUW) organized and implemented a training course in digital tools, as well as possible application scenarios in teaching including a comprehensive overview of the possibilities and offers of eLearning and Moodle functionalities. 

The following topics were adressed:

• Making an educational movie with low budget and high effect;
• Media didactics and media concept for e-learning and e-teaching: story telling, media usage and concepts;
• Moodle environment and online examination;
• Remote access experiments: Structural Health Monitoring of a Wind Turbine.

The course served for the training of e-tutors for the technical support and implementation of different learning media within the project PARFORCE and beyond that in the context of further consolidation at the partner universities, an eTutor will be a student assistant who supports lecturers in creating digital content for their courses. The tutor training provided theoretical knowledge about e-learning tools, methods, techniques as well as hands-on training by working on individual project ideas designed by participating lecturers. The mutual exchange between eLAB, lecturers, and eTutor was successfully established for the implementation of the knowledge taught during the training into real teaching scenarios, successful materials were elaborated and distributed, participants of the training to be well equipped and prepared for future tasks within the project. Furthermore, the exchange within the training enables the eLAB-team to design future training according to the student's and lecturer's needs, based on experience gained within the framework of the training.
