Multiple Choice – The new question type STACK for quizzes in RWTHmoodle
Electronic self-tests with automatic evaluation of answers given by students are a good option to give students regular opportunities to practice and to enable them to check their learning progress independently. Subjects with a high proportion of mathematics, however, face a major problem: closed task formats such as multiple choice questions, in which the answers are merely selected from predefined options, do not adequately reflect the demands placed on students.
Microsoft Teams für Mitarbeitende der RWTH Aachen
Angesichts der aktuellen Lage arbeitete die RWTH Aachen in den letzten Wochen mit Hochdruck daran, Lösungen zu den dabei aufkommenden Herausforderungen zu finden. Um die Verbreitung des Virus zu verhindern, arbeiten die Beschäftigten der RWTH vermehrt nur noch allein in Büros. Andere bleiben sogar ganz zu Hause und arbeiten im HomeOffice.
Provide an electronic reserves collection – with the literature section
Literary texts, historical sources, textbooks of all kinds or current research essays – despite the increasing number of video offerings, texts still play a prominent role in university teaching. However, not all texts that are needed in teaching are available as electronic resources quickly, easily and, above all, accessible to a large number of students at the same time.

RWTHmoodle is able to recycle
Reuse Materials, Activities, Configurations, and the Design of Course Rooms with the Import Function
Did you invest a lot of time last semester to make the course room neat? Did you spend a long time working on the right course format, creating and configuring various activities and arranging them in such a way that everything is structured?

RWTHmoodle can also recycle thanks to the practical import function!

Die RWTHapp effizient nutzen – so wird’s gemacht!
Jedem Erstsemesterstudierenden wird schon in den ersten Tagen an der RWTH Aachen dazu geraten sich die entsprechende App seiner Universität herunterzuladen. Dass das sinnvoll ist, wird sowohl Studierenden als auch Mitarbeitenden schon beim ersten Blick in die App klar.

Storm “Sabine”: Examinations Will Be Rescheduled

The University Management has decided that all examinations on Monday, February 10, 2020 will be cancelled, in reaction to the severe weather warning issued by the Deutscher Wetterdienst DED and in close coordination with the “Unit for Extraordinary Events” of the Städteregion Aachen.
Students who, as a result of storm “Sabine,” have difficulties getting to the University campus will thus not be disadvantaged. All written and other examinations scheduled for Monday will be rescheduled to a later date. All classes and teaching-related events will take place as usual. All university employees have been contacted by email and asked to contact their supervisors in case they encounter any difficulties in reaching their workplace due to the storm.
