12th April 2021

March 31st, 2021 | by

Please note that temp-Moodle will no longer be available for exams as of the winter semester 2021/2022. On April 04, 2022 this temporary Moodle instance will be permanently deleted. Information about electronic exams at RWTH Aachen University can be found in IT Center Help. (*)

12th April plays a particularly important role this year:

  • End of the Easter vacations in NRW
  • Start of lecture period summer semester 2021 at RWTH Aachen University
  • Start of the Take Home Exams via temp-Moodle at RWTH Aachen University

But what do these three things have in common?

With the end of the Easter vacations in NRW, the lecture period of the summer semester 2021 begins and at the same time we are faced with an additional challenge:

The exams of the winter semester 2020/21, which were planned to be taken in presence, have been postponed to the summer semester 2021 in the hope of keeping the original form of exams. Due to the ongoing Corona pandemic, these exams must now be converted to distance learning formats and administered in the summer semester of 2021, which is also a digital semester.

From the experience of the first two digital semesters at RWTH Aachen University, we know that the load on the teaching and learning platform RWTHmoodle is particularly high at the start of lectures.

As of 12th April 2021, RWTHmoodle will thus only be available for teaching purposes. From this date on, take-home exams will be conducted exclusively on temp-Moodle.

You will receive all further information about temp-Moodle in the upcoming week.
