You have a wide range of possibilities to interact with your students via Moodle .
Lecture notes and other documents can be shared via a Moodle course.

How to Inform Students about Moodle Courses
Your online course is ready and you want to make it available to your students? Please refer to our Moodle manual: "Wie kommen die Studierenden in den Kurs? (in German) or the official Moodle manual "Course enrolment" (in English).
We recommend you use option 1 (students enrol themselves). You will need to communicate the name of the course and the access key to the students. Please clarify with your faculty which channels you can use to reach your students.
MAHARA

Overview of different conference/meeting systems
Tips to Using Web Conferencing Systems
Please note: The use of free or paid services such as MS Teams, GoToMeeting, Zoom etc. or Skype via private licenses is not permitted for online lectures, as data protection issues are critical and the license terms usually only allow permission to use meeting content for personal, i.e. private, not business purposes.
ZOOM
The Munich University of Applied Sciences has obtained a campus license for zoom videoconferencing, which is available immediately at https://hm-edu.zoom.us
. This license is solely intended for use in teaching.
14 October 2020 - Important information on planning Zoom meetings for third parties:
If a Zoom user plans a meeting (meeting planner) in Zoom for a third person (client) the meeting runs under meeting planner's license. The meeting planner herself/himself cannot participate in any further meetings or plan any further appointments as long as the planned meeting is running for the client.
Instructions on how to work around this problem can be found in Central IT Knowledge Base (in German)
.
29 April 2020 - Zoom-Update:
On 30 May 2020, Zoom will enable GCM encryption across the entire Zoom platform, providing increased protection for meeting data. After 30 May 2020, all Zoom clients on older versions will receive a forced upgrade when trying to join meetings as GCM Encryption will be fully enabled across the Zoom platform. Please begin updating all your clients to Zoom 5.0
now.
More information on the Zoom blog.
BIGBLUEBUTTON
BigBlueButton is a web conferencing system especially designed for teaching large groups with a range of functions that allows group rooms, shared notes, private and public chats and collaboration on shared documents. Furthermore, there is the possibility to record lectures.
Please see the chapter "Legal Information Regarding the Recording of Lectures"!
BigBlueButton is now fully functional and directly integrated into Moodle
. The pilot server will remain in operation for a transitional period so that recordings of the lectures are still available. The IT department is working on the possibility of transferring these recordings onto the new server.

JITSI MEET
An MUAS internal Jitsi Meet
server is available at https://conf.hm.edu
as an internal conference server and for teaching small groups up to 20-30 people (depending on the network connection and the capacity of the moderator's computer). Login with your university account.
Please see the chapter "Legal Information Regarding the Recording of Lectures"!
The same application is available at the LRZ under Jitsi Meet
. The LRZ mentions small groups up to 15 persons for the group size. Since this is an offer LRZ, it can be used with a university account. On the website of the LRZ
there is more information about this and other web conference services.
Hints for Jitsi Meet:
DFNConf/PEXIP
DFNConf/pexip is a web conference service for up to 23 participants. It is possible to present your own screen, an application or a file. Sessions can also be recorded directly.
ADOBE CONNECT
Adobe Connect web conferencing software can be used for larger groups and offers a wider range of functions than DFNConf/pexip.
However, due to the very high frequency of access throughout Germany, disturbances are likely to occur!
The Zentrale IT is currently working at full speed on an MUAS internal solution with integration into Moodle, which will be made available in the coming weeks. For the transition period, we are working on one or more data protection compatible, commercial and centrally financed cloud solutions.
Important: for these solutions, the use of the data in a privacy sensitive way should be in the priority, i.e. students should not be forced to enter their real names or email addresses. Further information on which cloud solutions are offered centrally and how to use them will be added here gradually over the next few days.
The use of free or paid services such as MS Teams, GoToMeeting, Zoom etc. or Skype via private licenses is not permitted for online lectures, as data protection issues are critical and the license terms usually only allow permission to use meeting content for personal, i.e. private, not business purposes.
Information to Adobe Connect:
Please inform your students regarding recordings of Online Live Lectures as follows:
The following lecture will be recorded. The recording includes image and sound within the web conference, so that the recording can be made available to students later on. If you do not consent to your picture and audio recording, please do not switch on the camera and microphone. In this case, you can ask questions about the course by e-mail from your teacher.
More information(in German).
Information on forms of course exams and their rules of execution will be made available step by step in the coming days and weeks. As soon as more information is available, you will find it on www.hm.edu/lehre/pruefungen_wise2021/
In case you would like to use your own video lessons, you will find information on how to create and distribute them here .
STREAMING SERVER
POWERPOINT
OPENCAST STUDIO
With Opencast Studio you can easily record your screen, your webcam, or both together and upload the finished video directly to the streaming server. Afterwards, all you have to do is integrate it into Moodle according to this video tutorial (in German).
A tutorial
(in German) for creating screencasts with Opencast Studio can be found on the website of the University of Bremen. A short introduction Video in English can be found from YouTube: Opencast Studio: an easy way to record educational videos at home!
SNAGIT
CAMTASIA
Instead of creating video content yourself, you can also use existing instructional videos. You can find instructional videos on various topics at SmartVHB and LinkedIn Learning . Or use other platforms and content relevant to your subject area such as Open Educational Resources (free educational materials).
In order to ensure that the participation opportunities of students with disabilities are not hindered when switching to online courses, it must be ensured that digital teaching and assessment formats are designed to be barrier-free and that existing, legally binding standards are implemented.
