The ELBA - ETH E-learning Toolkit is aimed at university teachers who have not yet used e-learning elements in their teaching. Reasons for this may be a lack of time to get acquainted with new software or a lack of knowledge about such elements. By preparing a range of simple user-friendly e-learning tools that can be instantly used in teaching, ELBA helps to overcome those limiting factors. The aim of ELBA is to motivate ETH teaching staff to use simple e-learning tools that do not require a major additional effort from their part. A pedagogically meaningful use of these tools can help to improve the quality of the education.

ELBA offers
• a homepage where simple e-learning tools are presented and ready for use
• support for and hosting of selected applications
• introductory events (lunch-time seminars) and a course in the "didactica" program (planned)
• pedagical and technical consulting and coaching

The ELBA applications include:
• notice board/discussion forum
• Wiki web-based collaboration tool
• survey tool
• quiz tool
• concept-/mind-mapping tool
• web publishing tool
