May is coming and with it the information. In the first part of this article, we already reported on the upcoming changes due to the university framework agreement. What this means for you and what will change, you will learn today in the second part.
12th April 2021
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?

This is the name of a song or a phrase that indicates that changes are coming in May. This is also the case at Microsoft!
The university framework agreement with Microsoft is being updated and will come into force on May 1, 2021. This will change the previous licensing models for Microsoft products to new licenses.
Archive Migration – the Big Move of Archived Data

The Archive service enables RWTH employees to store data on a tape robot system for the long term. Archiving data in this way is primarily used to store data that, once stored, should also be stored in this form for the long term.
In the past, data inventories were stored here, primarily documenting measurement results, completed projects or project briefs. With the changes in the funding landscape, which among other things also rethink and demand the keeping of research data, the Archive service is also being rethought. This is partly because the current inventory system will be decommissioned in the summer of 2022 and partly because there is a need to hold data in a structured way in the future. So it’s time for a changeover.
