• Flexibility in time and place
• Convenient once there a just a few experts available
• Moderated courses lead to high learning results and
very few dropouts
• Many possibilities for individualized learning – both
in pace and learning methods

during teaching
• Not all content is appropriate for online teaching
• Once content has been developed, you can use it for
different purposes and during both online and
