An attempt of transforming traditional teaching in higher education to a new teaching approach, where both teachers and students can take advantage of an integrated asynchronous tele-education system as a complimentary part of the classroom lectures, has resulted in a formulation of a three-year innovation-oriented teaching approach of the entrepreneurship 2.0. The selection of qualitative research methods such as semi-structured students' interviews and observations coming along with constructive critique by two experts led to considerable findings. The consideration of students as potential entrepreneurs and their prompting to innovate in their entrepreneurial endeavours assigned by their teachers brought into light interesting innovative ideas. The application of a unique mix of learning methods, participation in games and events based on innovation as well as the undertaking of teaching by both a professor having a great expertise on e-learning and a business consultant specialized on entrepreneurship and research driven by innovation and e-entrepreneurship ended in a pattern of a course available for others to benchmark.
