As part of our ‘Women in IT’ series, we have already talked about the challenges faced by women in IT and shared some success stories. In the third article, we presented the FEMTEC Career Building Programs. Today, in the fourth part, we would like to introduce the TANDEM mentoring programs at RWTH Aachen University – important tools for equal opportunities career development that support women in shaping their careers in science and research while promoting gender equality in the academic environment.
Moodle-Templates: Didactical Course Design

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.

Welcome to the third post in our blog series about women in IT. In the first post, we looked at the challenges women face in the tech industry and how they successfully overcome them. The second post was dedicated to the success stories of historical and modern women who have made significant contributions to the IT field. Today we present the FEMTEC Career-Building Program, which prepares female STEM students at RWTH Aachen University for challenging careers in business and science.

RWTHmoodle – Find the Right Guide for You

The RWTHmoodle service is indispensable in everyday study life, both for students and lecturers. It is therefore particularly important for all those involved to ensure suitable access to detailed documentation.
With this in mind, our RWTHmoodle help has been comprehensively revised. Due to the large number of available instructions, it was often difficult in the past to quickly find the right documentation. To simplify this, we have developed a clearly structured and more user-friendly navigation that provides easy and targeted access to the desired Moodle help.

Storage Space Reduction on OneDrive & SharePoint Online

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.
