3.3.Thematic Area Communication<br />
Describe the solution from the perspective of e<strong>CAL</strong><br />
Teachers / tutors (use is limited to teachers/tutors at non-profit, public institutions) can use the site to<br />
make their own exercises, evaluate students’ work and encourage communication (via forums or<br />
comments). In this case the course leader also assumes the role of the student’s on-line tutor.<br />
Independent learners or learners who gave finished a course at a local adult education institution are<br />
delegated an on-line tutor to support their learning.<br />
The portal features forum, chat and newsl<strong>et</strong>ter. Learning groups are active all around Germany and<br />
are encouraged to connect on-line. A tutorial is available to show how to start or participate in these<br />
discussions. The tutorials and many help videos are very useful.<br />
