Here we offer you a selection of applications that you can use for digital teaching, but also as a supplement to your face-to-face courses. Some are similar to the StudIP plugins and can be used as an alternative, but many have more advanced functions, so it is worth taking a look at these tools.

Please note that these applications originate from external providers and data such as IP addresses may be transmitted to servers outside Germany. Therefore, please observe the relevant information from the University of Oldenburg's data protection officer and inform students of this before using them in your course. Furthermore, personal data such as real names or email addresses should never be disclosed on whiteboards or similar applications. The application must be voluntary for the participants of the course and it must be ensured that successful participation is also possible without its use.

As a rule, these applications are free of charge as a basic version and it is sufficient to register with an e-mail address; in some cases, the programmes are available completely free of charge, such as Flinga or Oncoo.

Students do not need to register, they just need a link from you, which you can post in the BBB chat or send by email, for example.

The programmes are usually intuitive to use, but you should familiarise yourself with the tool once before the event. In the settings of some applications, the rights of the participants still need to be extended so that they can work independently.
