6. http://ilias.gdf.hu June 20 th 2008, GDAU Change Management  Introduction of the new system is effective but there are some problems:  Students actively use it, but few teachers do continuously and systematically;  Teachers need more competencies, they declined developing them referring to lack of time.  When subjects are fully uploaded teacher work requires less time.  Logging into ILIAS every day should be as natural as checking you e-mail daily.  Organizing and motivating tutor work  Web-based tutoring should be regarded as regular lecturing, quality checks should be performed;  Tutor tasks should be integrated into job descriptions.
