Hard skills of the Tutor
First of all media competencies
Of special importance for the qualification of
eTutors is the development of a comprehensive medial
competence or sovereignity. Lots of publications reduce
media competence to the technical handling of the
necessary hard and software. Handling the technology is
not the primary target but rather a means for virtual
communication on the basis of which additional abilities
and capabilities have to be gained and developed. Online
tutors thus have to be able to use the hard and software
in a pedagogically reflected way.

abilities of an eTutor relies on special abilities in
using the Internet, security in using the hard and
software, knowledge about the infrastructure and the use
of the learning platform as well as about the medial
design, restructuring and the influence of medially
transferred information and contents.
