You are on the road and want to watch the lecture recording, but you don’t have internet? You want to watch a digital lecture, but the video takes forever to load because your internet connection is not sufficient? Or do you as a lecturer want to offer your students the possibility to watch a video independently from RWTHmoodle?

#moodletrouble – Emergency Management at the IT Center
Probably no one who was involved in teaching missed it: At the beginning of the semester, there was something fishy about RWTHmoodle. The RWTH‘s teaching and learning platform had to deal with disruptions, overloads, and downtimes. Especially in a predominantly digital semester, it was of course crucial to stabilize the system and ensure trouble-free teaching again. Such significant disruptions naturally require special measures, so for the first time the “emergency situation” was declared in the IT Center.
This is what it looks like: The information page about current events in the RWTHmoodle area.

RWTHonline Survey 2020 for Students
This summer, the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University surveyed students for the first time on a larger scale about their opinion of RWTHonline. Students were asked about user satisfaction and concrete usability of RWTHonline, the technical support provided by the IT Center and the new RWTHonline support form. The current overall rating of RWTHonline was also evaluated.
The results are in! Many thanks to all students who participated in the RWTHonline Survey 2020!
