This study will examine how IT practitioners can be motivated for IT studies and which kind of support they need during their occupational studies. Within this research project, the challenge of supporting students being engaged in business for several years arose. Here, it is especially important to successfully guide them through their studies. The problem of this group is that they finished their school education years ago. In order to gather first experiences, preliminary elearning courses were introduced and tested with a group of users studying General Management. They had to work with these courses and have been questioned later on about their approach to the different methods. Moreover, a second group of potential students was interviewed with the help of online questionnaires to give information about their expectations regarding extra occupational studies. We also want to present best practices and cases in eeducation in the subarea of mathematics and distance learning. Within these cases and practices, we use state of the art systems and technologies in eeducation to find a way to increase teaching quality and the success of students. Our research indicated that the first group of enrolled students appreciated the new preliminary elearning courses. The second group of potential students was convinced of this way of learning as a significant component of extra occupational studies. It can be concluded that this part of the project clarified the acceptance of the elearning strategy by both groups and led to satisfactory results with the enrolled students.
