Let us be honest: Making available a lot of educational material, putting it categorized on the inter/intranet, offering drill- practice and assessing programs, some visualizations and animations and making possible communication by E-Mail or Chatrooms, is for sure a supporting tool to catalyze getting data (information) on demand, but no warranty for a lasting „LEARNING“ process.
