Abstract
In this paper we will give an insight of how we implemented aspects of gender-sensitive instructional design into University Duisburg-Essen’s e-tutor training program. The basic idea was to integrate research findings about gender differences in computer and new media access and appliance into concepts and realizations of online support. We will provide a detailed description of the concept and the implementation of guidelines for gendersensitive online learning environments into our e-tutor-training program. Thus we will show that it is possible to create and conduct a gender-sensitive training program successfully.
