Winter is Coming… and With it Completely New Possibilities: The New Plugins in RWTHmoodle
Yesterday we enjoyed 30 degrees in the sun, but now the first gingerbread is smiling at us in the supermarket. An unmistakable sign that we have arrived in the semester with the word “winter”. It is high time to replenish our own stock of thick socks (keyword: brace yourself). But besides cold and darkness, the winter semester has a lot of great new possibilities to offer, like our three new plugins in RWTHmoodle!

Like a Breath of Fresh Air… in September
At least for RWTHmoodle this is the case, because the first big update this year is coming. RWTHmoodle will be updated to Moodle version 3.9, including some minor and major changes. Improvements in accessibility, the widely used e-tests and the selection dialog when adding activities are just as much a part of this as minor adjustments to the forum, the grading of assignments and the question collection.

The exact date for the update to version 3.9 is 09.23.2020.

It is time! We have been waiting for this for a long time and could hardly wait. We have designed, developed, tested, optimized and asked for your feedback. IT Center Help is now officially the new documentation platform of the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. Here you can find all information about the IT Center Services, instructions for applications for study and teaching and much more.
With the Go Live of IT Center Help we also say goodbye to our documentation portal doc.itc.rwth-aachen.de. For more than six years, we have been providing information about IT Center Services and instructions for you here.
Now we want to support you with IT Center Help on a new page with a modern look and a user-friendly interface in the matter of IT services.

Statement on attacks on high-performance computing systems
Several high-performance data centres throughout Europe are currently victims of cyber attacks. Some centres have therefore blocked the access to their computing capacity at least in parts due to security incidents to protect against (further) attacks.

Against this background, we are also taking appropriate precautions and monitoring our systems even more closely than before. Our statement and recommendations on the IT Center website provide information on the current situation.
