In the summer semester 2025, the RWTHmoodle team will be testing two course templates for the first time. These offer a pre-structured course environment that lecturers can customize and use directly. These course templates are intended to facilitate the design of learning spaces for teachers and make getting started with RWTHmoodle even more efficient.

The examination phase is a stressful time for everyone involved. While the students are studying, writing exams and waiting for their grades, the examiners may still be preparing the last exam study rooms, correcting and grading the exams.
We have therefore collected useful information for lecturers on the topics of exam study rooms in RWTHmoodle, assigning grades and viewing exams in RWTHmoodle.
You can also read our articles on the basics of RWTHmoodle, the ABC of exam registration and general instructions for RWTHmoodle. Students should contact the ZPA if they have entered incorrect grades.

Designing course rooms in Moodle can be a challenge – especially for those who are not yet familiar with the platform’s extensive possibilities. It is therefore not surprising that in our last RWTHmoodle user survey in the summer semester, more than two thirds of lecturers expressed great interest in course templates. We take this feedback very seriously and are actively addressing the issue.

Digital inspections offer a number of advantages: They save resources by reducing the use of staff, students can participate remotely and receive a copy of the exam without additional effort, which they are allowed to request in accordance with the Higher Education Act in NRW.
In order to be able to use these advantages for paper pencil exams, the IT Center, CLS and the Chair of Controlling at RWTH Aachen University have developed Exam Scan, a Moodle plugin that prepares such exams for digital viewing.
