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.

The time has come: After 14 years, it is with a heavy heart that we say our final goodbyes to L2P.
Until 2019, L2P was the central teaching and learning platform at RWTH Aachen University. In the course of “Digitalization Strategy for Teaching” it was decided to switch to Moodle as an open source software. After a successful test and pilot phase, RWTHmoodle was implemented into university-wide operation in the summer semester 2019 and since then L2P has only served as an archive.
