Training for pupils in the seminar subject
Online introductions
We offer online training sessions for school classes – ideally as a single session for the whole class of students or several groups – on research for seminar subjects and the use of the university library.
A session lasts approximately 60 minutes. The session covers:
- Using the university library
- Searching the library catalogue
- Preparing a research project by analysing the topic and formulating the research question
- Search options for citable online resources
The online sessions take place via BigBlueButton, a browser-based platform that does not require registration (privacy policy). We recommend using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Active participation is possible via microphone or chat. Ideally, pupils should take part in the session as a group in a normal classroom setting, using a smartboard or similar device. Individual participation by pupils using their own devices may be possible upon consultation.
