Co-operation
How can I in my event joint learning through exchange and collaboration both asynchronously and synchronously synchronously?
Groups in Stud.IP
Students can be divided into smaller groups in the course under the Stud.IP tab "Participants". The division into groups facilitates communication, group organisation and file management. You can find technical instructions for organising into groups in the Stud.IP help.
Collaboration enables an approach to collaborative academic practice through the active involvement of all participants. In this way, students are introduced to the independent acquisition of knowledge and the communicative development of content.
What technical options are available to the participants in the groups?
- Groups can have am own filearea can be assigned. The uploaded files are only visible within the respective group.
- The groups can createown wikis and therein e.g. glossaries for joint collaboration, annotated source and literature lists create.
- Teachers can sendsend group-specific messages.
- Presentation topics can be assigned to specific groups in the schedule.
For which didactic scenarios is a categorisation into groups in Stud.IP helpful?
- When several projects are developed in a course, each project can be assigned to a group in Stud.IP. This enables a targeted and fast communication within and with the group.
- With the allocation of presentation topics, teachers can Teachers can select groups for the respectiven topics topics. Students can choose a desiredn topic by joining the group.
- If you work in workshops, studios and laboratories with limited time slots, you can use a organising the studentsn into groups can make coordination easier. Conditions for using the rooms, fixed time slots, required materials and any results can be clearly communicated via group messages and folders.
- If you offer several examination dates in one course, you can create groups for each date, to facilitate coordination and overview. facilitate coordination and overview.
Cloud storage
The University of Oldenburg's cloud storage enables secure - both synchronous and asynchronous - working with large amounts of data that are structured in folders. Files stored in this way can be accessed independently of the workstation (even outside the university network). The integrated OnlyOffice package allows users to work on shared documents, spreadsheets and presentations, which can be edited synchronously in the internet browser (without downloading to the end device).
Some technical information and instructions on cloud storage at the University of Oldenburg are provided by IT services.
What advantages and functions does the Uni-Cloud offer?
