We aim at contributing to the analysis of the effects of eLearning platforms on Higher Education institutions. We propose three categories and thirteen criteria of added value. Indeed, the uses of those platforms by teachers add value as far as they 1) move educational practices towards a better centration on the learning process, 2) exploit the potentialities of flexibility to better answer students’ specific needs, and 3) stimulate the professional development of the teachers. We then discuss indicators to observe these added values, in order to manage the techno-educational innovation in Higher Education institutions.
