Abstract
In recent years, e-learning projects have been initiated at most universities at home and abroad. The project and impulse programmes are followed by the consolidation phases. Even during the project phases, problem groups emerge that indicate that e-learning is not "only" a matter of pedagogy and didactics. The first part of the paper identifies some of these problem areas. The second part shows that e-learning affects higher education institutions as a whole and presents a framework concept that shows how the problems named can be avoided in the implementation of e-learning.
