The evaluation paints a positive picture when it came to assessing the structure   Die Evaluation zeichnete ein positives Bild zur Bewertung der Struktur, Didakik, Verständlichkeit und Veranschaulichung des Online-Kurses. Der durchschnittliche Zeitaufwand je Modul wurde von den Studierenden mit drei Stunden eingeschätzt und der Gesamtaufwand für den Online-Kurs höher als üblicherweise für ein Präsenzseminar; die Module waren somit in der ersten Durchführung noch zu umfangreich. Im Verhältnis zum Lerngewinn wurde der Aufwand allerdings als gerechtfertigt beurteilt.Bei der Umsetzung der Lehrveranstaltung in zweierlei Varianten zeigte sich, dass Betreuung und Kollaboration zentrale Faktoren eines Online-Lernarrangements sind, um am Ball zu bleiben. Die an dem tutoriell betreuten Kurs eingeschrieben Studierenden (30) beendeten nahezu alle das Seminar, wohingegen bei dem unbetreuten Kurs (90) , didactics, understandability and illustration of the online course. The average time needed per module was estimated to be three hours by the students and the entire workload was higher for the online course than for the usual time invested in a face-to-face seminar. Therefore the conclusion is that the modules in the first run-through were too comprehensive. In relation to the knowledge gained, though, the effort made was judged to be adequate.  

For the realization of the course in the two different variants it could be seen that supervision and collaboration are central factors for a successful implementation regarding online arrangements. Nearly all of the students that were registered in the supervised tutorial (30) successfully completed the course whereas in the unsupervised course (90) only one-third took part in the exam. The ability to self-organize one's learning cannot be taken for granted when designing an online arrangement; offers and support with regard to supervision/peer work can therefore be recommended.  nur ein Drittel an der Klausur teilnahm. Die Fähigkeit zum selbstorganisierten Lernen kann bei der Konzeption eines Online-Lernarrangements nicht per se als selbstverständlich angenommen werden,  Angebote zur Betreuung/Peerarbeit sind daher zu empfehlen.
