Umsatteln auf HomeOffice – Eine Herausforderung auch für Netzkapazitäten

May 29th, 2020 | by

 

Online oder nicht online - das ist hier die Frage. Dank ausreichender Kapazitäten auch im HomeOffice kein Problem

Besondere Maßnahmen, wie etwa die Umstellung auf situative mobile Heimarbeit (smH)- auch gerne als HomeOffice bezeichnet, ziehen besondere Herausforderungen nach sich. Das betrifft auch die IT-Infrastruktur. Neben einem verlässlichen VPN-Service ist aber ohne Internetverbindung nichts möglich – schon gar nicht bei der Arbeit von Zuhause.

Heute erzählen wir Euch, was sich bei der Umstellung auf die Arbeit von zu Hause in Sachen Netzkapazitäten gerade zu Beginn der Umstellung an der RWTH getan hat. An dieser Stelle gilt unser Dank unseren IT Center-Kolleginnen und -Kollegen der Abteilung Netze, die uns auch hier wieder unterstützt haben.

Today’s article in the mini-series “Our Services & the HomeOffice” deals with the use of RWTHmoodle and the digital course rooms.

Course rooms & participants

To apply for a digital learning room for your course, you can simply contact the “LV-Coordination” of your chair or institute. This person can order the desired course room. Lecturers of the corresponding courses are automatically authorised as “Manager” if a TIM-CAMPUS-Coupling exists.

Instructions for creating course rooms.

Automatic booking of “lecturers” and “assistants” as managers.

 

As “Manager“, you have the possibility to add manually further persons to the course room besides the students who were automatically authorized due to a confirmed place in RWTHonline.

Explanation of the roles and rights in RWTHmoodle.

Instructions for adding and removing people in the course room.

To provide materials from previous semesters you can use the import function in the course room. It is also possible to create many different, interactive working materials and activities.

Instructions for importing and reusing

If you want to make videos available in the course room, you can do this easily in two steps with the RWTH streaming server: Upload and embedding.

If you wish to contact students directly, you can use the “Announcements” activity in RWTHmoodle or you can use “Quickmail” to send e-mails comfortably to the participants of your course room.

Support

If you need support for continuing online courses during the digital semester, you can find support at the IT-ServiceDesk. Furthermore, the Learning Platform Management department of the Center for Teaching and Learning Services (CLS) also offers a RWTHmoodle consultation hour in which individual questions can be discussed personally. (Please note these pages are currently only available in German.) It is also worthwhile to take a look at the CLS’s advice on distance and online teaching at the RWTH.
