Designing course rooms in Moodle can be a challenge – especially for those who are not yet familiar with the platform’s extensive possibilities. It is therefore not surprising that in our last RWTHmoodle user survey in the summer semester, more than two thirds of lecturers expressed great interest in course templates. We take this feedback very seriously and are actively addressing the issue.

Researchers face the daily challenge of efficiently managing and accessing large amounts of data. Nowadays, data management goes beyond simple storage. According to the FAIR principles, research data should be easy to find (Findable), accessible (Accessible), interoperable (Interoperable) and reusable (Reusable). This is exactly where Coscine (Collaborative Scientific Integration Environment) comes in – a platform that supports researchers throughout the data lifecycle.
But what exactly does that mean? Let’s take a look at the structure of Coscine and explain step by step how the platform for research data management (RDM) works.

In this article, we take a look at a few “IT horror stories”, how you can protect yourself from them and share some interesting figures.

The change will prevent RWTH email addresses from being used as sender addresses by mail servers outside of RWTH Aachen University in the future. This will further increase email security at our university. Please note that this article is mainly intended for mail administrators of RWTH institutions. (*)
