Training for pupils in the seminar subject
Online introductions
We offer online training courses for school classes - if possible as a collective date for the entire year or several groups - on researching in the seminar subject and using the university library.
A training course lasts approx. 60 minutes. Contents of the training are
- Use of the university library
- Research in the library catalogue
- Preparation of a search with a topic analysis of the research question
- Research options for citable online resources
The online introductions take place via BigBlueButton, a browser-based platform that does not require registration(data protection information). It is recommended to use the latest version of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Active participation is possible via microphone or chat. Preferably, students should participate in the event as a group in the usual classroom situation via a smartboard or similar. Individual participation by pupils using their own devices is possible after consultation.
