Abstract

Security demands for e-learning systems are only marginally examined up to now. Major problem within such research is the connection of abstract criteria and requirements of educational science with technical realisation possibilities like provided by informatics. The presented research project starts with this interdisciplinary situation and investigates e-learning with respect to both affiliated disciplines aiming at a proposition for a security concept with sufficient strength while still taking care of requirements given by the learning process. Exemplary conceptual problems for confidentiality of personal data in learning management systems will be presented and discussed.
