Welcome Weeks Online – Digital and Brilliant for the Winter Semester 20/21
Twice a year, everything at RWTH Aachen University is about the start of studies. This year, the summer semester has also got off to a successful start, although the conditions surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic required a completely different approach than we are normally used to. The winter semester 2020/2021 will also be characterized primarily by digital courses. For this reason, the International Office’s traditional introductory week has also been converted to a digital format.

Since the actual event of this semester could not take place on site, the Welcome Week has become an “Online Welcome Weeks Program” for our international students. We were also able to participate again with a digital information stand at the Freshers’ Fair and an interactive lecture on the IT Services of the IT Center, which are especially important for the start of the digital semester.

RWTHmoodle in Motion – New Plugins in the Pilot Phase in the Winter Semester 2020/21
While the philosopher Heraclitus already knew that everything flows, RWTHmoodle proves us once again that this insight is true. Like a river, our learning platform is always in motion and constantly evolving. Our plug-ins in pilot operation make an important contribution to this. Each semester we test several plugins directly in selected course rooms and – after a successful pilot phase – we include them in our RWTHmoodle system.

Microsoft 365 for Students
On September 23, 2020, right on time for the start of the bridge courses at RWTH Aachen University, the Microsoft 365 service for students will be launched. Here we want to explain briefly the background, how it can be used and where help can be obtained in case of questions and problems.

Like a Breath of Fresh Air… in September
At least for RWTHmoodle this is the case, because the first big update this year is coming. RWTHmoodle will be updated to Moodle version 3.9, including some minor and major changes. Improvements in accessibility, the widely used e-tests and the selection dialog when adding activities are just as much a part of this as minor adjustments to the forum, the grading of assignments and the question collection.

The exact date for the update to version 3.9 is 09.23.2020.
