SOME STRUCTURAL CHANGES ON THE WAY TOWARDS eUNIVERSITY

In the past eLearning has been introduced by many public universities however a
concise IT-strategy was not followed during implementation. Different learning
platforms were acquired by different departments and no systematic approach was set
up to give support for course development, eTutoring or upgrading and archiving of
electronic files. Although contemporary learning management systems had some
administrative functions incorporated these data were not integrated with the rest of
the universities administrative system. The need to work on integrated solutions
offering most of the universities services with "one face to the customer" became
obvious. The paper will discuss scenarios to explain the services needed and report on
the present discussion about reforming organizational structures and adjusting IT
infrastructure to create the future eUniversity.
