•  Receiving assignments from students and giving feedback
•  Conducting surveys, tests and votes
•  Direct linking of different face-to-face courses with digital media via various learning concepts (blended learning, flipped classroom, etc.)
•  Provision of teaching videos and lecture recordings via Opencast plugin
•  Access to or integration of courses and content from the vhb (Virtual University of Bavaria)
•  and much more....

The digital learning and teaching platform plays an important role in teaching and communication at THWS. It is therefore important that you register there after receiving your teaching assignment and actively use the platform.

You can find detailed information on this in the Instructions Elearning Log in & find courses.

After consultation with the data protection officers, the elearning courses will be hidden from the summer semester 2024 and provided with a course key. In your role as a lecturer, you can view and edit the courses. However, you must activate the courses for students so that they can see the course and register for it.

This works in two steps:

1. make the course visible

To do this, go to the "Settings" tab in the course. Then set "Display" under "Course visibility". 

2. manage or change course key

For an explanation of how to do this, please refer to the Instructions change enrollment key
