====== E-Learning Tools ======

Since it is currently not clear whether face-to-face events will be possible at the (postponed) beginning of the semester on April 20, 2020, we are evaluating together with the [[https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/125718.html|Service for Digital Learning and Teaching]] of the University of Göttingen additional opportunities for [[https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/virtuelle+lehre/622774.html|online lectures]].

Here is a great [[https://pad.gwdg.de/i2FwGQXIS0mI72sff3AJXA#|manual]] for streaming of webinars and similar events. Many thanks to Alexander Krug!

The log in portal for [[https://meet.gwdg.de]] is integrated with the [[en:services:general_services:academicid:start|Academic Cloud]]. **You  can simply use your usual credentials (email, password), but the appearance of the log in portal looks different**.

With [[https://bigbluebutton.org|BigBlueButton]] we are serving an open source video conferencing tool that, in addition to conventional video conference functions such as screen sharing and chat, is also suitable for e-learning scenarios. The tool is based on HTML5, runs in the browser and does not require any software installation. For BigBlueButton to work properly, the use of **a Chromium based browser or Google Chrome** is recommended.

BigBlueButton offers the following features that go beyond video conferencing:
  * Upload and show presentation
  * Annotation function for presentations (also by multiple users inside)
  * Download function of the presentation for participants inside
  * Establishment of so-called "break-out rooms" for group work
  * Note function
  * Conducting surveys
  * Recording options for the conference
  * Individual sessions with up to 100 people

The service is available at [[https://meet.gwdg.de]] and via Stud.IP and Moodle. Please log in using your respective primary email address (e.g. *mmuster@uni-goettingen.de*). Invited participants do not have to register, only the host of the room has to be logged in.
