RWTHmoodle is the central teaching and learning platform of RWTH Aachen University.

MATSE show practical projects from dual study
For many years, the upcoming mathematical-technical software developers of the dual study program “Applied Mathematics and Computer Science” (MATSE) of the FH Aachen have presented their project work in an in-house fair at the IT Center.

The Metadata Form – Migrate Archive Nodes via Metadata

We know it too well ourselves from moves of all kinds: if we know what is contained in the boxes, it is much easier for us to decide whether we still want to keep certain contents or whether we can say goodbye to them. For this reason, we at least write on the box what is included and where it belongs.
The same goes for data that we want to archive, for example. We don’t have boxes available, but we can “label” the nodes to be archived with metadata. To do this, the appropriate node contacts receive a dedicated link to a metadata form about what exactly belongs to an archive node. What this is all about, you can read in this article.
Single sign-on: What does that actually mean?

Our everyday life is closely accompanied by the internet. We communicate with our peers on the net, share memories on social media, we shop online, search for answers to various questions in forums and much more.

TIM(e) to say goodbye!

As already mentioned in our post on Bye-Bye TIM TIM has already been taken offline on 24.07.2020.
For many years, our Tivoli Identity Management System (TIM) was a faithful and constant companion in the everyday life of RWTH. We enter the famous, RWTH-wide known identifier with two letters and six digits several times a day into the various systems and pages of the RWTH. But don’t worry, the user name remains, only TIM no longer exists.

Digital semesters, remote exams, 2x #moodletrouble, numerous innovations – a lot has happened in the last 12 months and RWTHmoodle, as the central teaching and learning platform, has always been in the thick of things. All the more reason for us to want to know this year how the system has fared with users and where there is still room for improvement. That’s why we launched our annual user survey in July 2021. The focus was on the events mentioned above. We would like to discuss the individual results here.
