Microsoft products play a major role in everyday university life, especially for many students. Services such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote are part of the Microsoft licences included in the Microsoft federal contract that RWTH Aachen University has concluded with Microsoft. This gives students (and employees) the necessary rights to use the software.
Due to new votes and licence changes on the part of Microsoft, the storage space for OneDrive and SharePoint Online on the tenant for students has been redefined.
You can find out what has changed for you and how to proceed in this blog post.

Digital inspections offer a number of advantages: They save resources by reducing the use of staff, students can participate remotely and receive a copy of the exam without additional effort, which they are allowed to request in accordance with the Higher Education Act in NRW.
In order to be able to use these advantages for paper pencil exams, the IT Center, CLS and the Chair of Controlling at RWTH Aachen University have developed Exam Scan, a Moodle plugin that prepares such exams for digital viewing.

As a partner, the IT Center actively supports the design of digitalisation processes at RWTH Aachen University. This also includes the use of cloud services and the correspondingly increasing needs of teaching staff, researchers and students at RWTH Aachen University.
