Hybrid lectures in the winter/summer semester 2020/21
When it comes to hybrid lectures, some of the students are present in person in the lecture room at the Viadrina, whilst other students are located externally. Such online participation of students in lectures that take place in person can be conducted in different ways:
- Online streaming/broadcast of the attendance lecture: Students attend passively
- Recording of the attendance lecture: Students can access the lecture asynchronously on the Internet
- Video/web conference of the attendance lecture: All students actively participate either in person or digitally
Due to the limited number of technical resources, these methods of teaching are only possible at the Viadrina to a very limited extent.

Videos in online teaching activitiesWhether a lecture recording or an educational film – videos in teaching activities are a helpful companion and can be the basis for new teaching scenarios. They can be used to convey the content and to personally address the students (video message/introduction to the subject). You can learn how to create videos with OpenCast and other applications here. |

Learning management platform MoodleTo ensure that the students can contact you from the first week onwards, they are referred to Moodle for all courses to be attended. Thus please inform the students about your lecture via Moodle – irrespective of whether you can provide it fully online or are only providing studying material. Various other tools, services or websites can be incorporated here (via links where necessary). You can learn how to use Moodle for your teaching at the Viadrina here. |

E-portfolio system MaharaMahara is an e-portfolio software application with community functions. With Mahara, students create the content themselves and decide who can view this content. In contrast to this, with a Moodle course, the lecturer creates the content and students only have restricted options to add content themselves. Learn about the possibilities Mahara provides here. |
