In fall, the archive nodes contained in the archive will be migrated. Until then, however, there is still a lot to do. While work is going on behind the scenes on the front end for the new Digital Archive and for the metadata form, among other things, we are also hard at work getting the new infrastructure up and running. But, for our node contacts, too, preparation is key. For this reason, we call on you to use the opportunity and the time until the migration to sift through archive nodes, prepare them if necessary, or even make the decision to part with data that is no longer needed or needs to be kept. In this article you will learn how to prepare your archive nodes for migration. Read the rest of this entry »

Wow, RWTHmoodle is already two years old! On the occasion of this event, we would like to reminisce with you and give you a little preview of the future.
In recent years, digitization has also influenced the way we teach and learn: In addition to purely classroom-based courses with written scripts, as older semesters are still familiar with, digital learning concepts and course rooms are increasingly coming into focus. These are designed to complement existing face-to-face courses, make teaching interactive, and adapt learning to students’ requirements in terms of time. Read the rest of this entry »

Who doesn’t know it: the fear of missing out (FOMO). We have been encountering this seemingly new term more and more frequently lately, although it actually refers to an age-old phenomenon of humanity. Due to IT and digitalization, FOMO is not getting less, despite networking, or maybe even because of it. Why is that? How much are you affected by FOMO and what can help against it?
Safety First – Secure logout with RWTH Single Sign-On

Everyone who studies or works at RWTH knows it: the RWTH Single Sign-On.
This is not a dating service, but an application with which you can log in to almost all RWTH services. What is particularly charming is that you do not have to remember an infinite number of access data, but only one user name and the corresponding password.
In addition, RWTH Single Sign-On recognizes if you are already logged in to a service, for example RWTHonline. If you then log in to RWTHmoodle, RWTH Single Sign-On waves the user through directly using the underlying “Shibboleth” application.

To mark its 100th anniversary, the Stifterverband for German science, or Stifterverband for short, has launched the anniversary initiative “Effect to the power of 100“. The aim is to promote the 100 best ideas for the education, science and innovation system of tomorrow.
After the application phase had been completed in mid-September 2020, an expert advisory board selected the 100 best ideas (from a total of 500 applications) for the future of the education, science and innovation system. And the IT Center was among them – we reported on it in detail here on the blog.
Ever since then, a while has passed and synergies have emerged with different perspectives on the common theme, allowing for a holistic view of digital testing. Read the rest of this entry »
