11. Conclusions
the administration is more optimistic on the realisation of the e-strategy than the operative level (questionnaire and interview)
2. the institutional support is important for the academic staff and their e-learning implementations
eTUBE seems to support the continuing professional development (CPD) of the academic staff
4. strategic decision making and guidance are crucial in developing e-learning in HE

12. Further studies more data needed eTUBE 2: advanced course is needed
International comparisons would be of great interest
How can the QS be implemented as an instrument for ensuring the adequate institutional support for e-learning?

13. What kind of institutional support for the development of e-learning do you offer at your institution?
How would you like to collaborate with us in order to develop the ideas?

14. Thank you!
