00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.894
It is 2020. We are in the middle of a pandemic

2
00:00:05.055 --> 00:00:09.919
and lectures at the HWR Berlin only take place
digitally.

3
00:00:09.959 --> 00:00:16.753
While a year ago students were looking for
their event rooms at the university, sometimes
without orientation,

4
00:00:16.962 --> 00:00:20.325
they are now looking for links to digital rooms.

5
00:00:20.536 --> 00:00:29.964
To make your search easier, the following video
offers some tips on where the access links
to online lectures can be found.

6
00:00:30.089 --> 00:00:34.287
First of all, it should be mentioned that lecturers
proceed differently.

7
00:00:34.446 --> 00:00:38.962
So there is no standard place where you can
find the links to the lectures.

8
00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:42.298
However, you will often find them on Moodle.

9
00:00:42.536 --> 00:00:45.962
Of course, the most important thing is that
you have your timetable.

10
00:00:45.976 --> 00:00:49.242
You know which lectures take place on which
day.

11
00:00:49.295 --> 00:00:50.340
Let's assume:

12
00:00:50.354 --> 00:00:54.189
Monday at 12:00 you always have Economics.

13
00:00:54.295 --> 00:00:58.647
You will then find this module in your course
overview on Moodle.

14
00:00:58.797 --> 00:01:02.000
If you click on the course, you will get a
view like this.

15
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000
Here you can see the title of the course.

16
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Further down you will find the rubrics under
which your lecturers upload slides, literature
and other material

17
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.000
that you need for your studies.

18
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.000
The course always starts here with the forum
"Announcements".

19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.000
"Announcements" are forum posts by the lecturers

20
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
that you can read but not reply to.

21
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.000
Click on them to see all the announcements
you have made so far.

22
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.000
An overview of these is already shown  here
on the right-hand side.

23
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.000
The first line always shows the date on which
the message was written.

24
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Below that you see the sender,

25
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.000
i.e. the teacher of the course, and the last
line is the subject.

26
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.000
Often teachers give out the link for the course
in this way.

27
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.000
Pay attention to the subject line.

28
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.000
Here, for example, the subject is "Access link
for course"

29
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.000
and the message that opens when you click on
it probably contains a BigBlueButton link

30
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000
or access to Microsoft Teams.

31
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
On Tuesdays you have another course at 10:00.

32
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Your timetable says: "Fundamentals of Business
Administration".

33
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000
You open Moodle again and click on the module
in the course overview.

34
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.000
The view is very similar to the one of the
other course.

35
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.000
The title is different, obviously, and above
the option  "Announcements" there is a welcome
text.

36
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.000
Often the link is given directly here, which
is then usually valid for the whole semester.

37
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:48.000
This is a link to a BigBlueButton room and
below there is also the access code.

38
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.000
The third variant becomes clear at our next
lecture.

39
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.000
It's already Thursday and Marketing takes place
at 13:00.

40
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:06.000
The first step, as always, is to go to Moodle
and search for the module "Marketing" in the
course overview.

41
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.000
If we click on that, we see this view again.

42
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.000
But it is noticeable again: The contents are
sorted differently.

43
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:21.000
The topics below the announcement and the
welcome text are sorted by the individual events.

44
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.000
If you find the date of today,  the link can
also be attached directly below it.

45
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.000
If you click on it, the course room opens.

46
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.000
In addition, it is possible that you will only
be notified by e-mail.

47
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:42.000
So check your e-mail inbox daily to avoid missing
any important information.

48
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.000
And have you already found the link to the
next course?

49
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:55.000
If you still have questions, please contact
the  E-Learning Centre at elearning@hwr-berlin.de

50
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.000
or come to one of our consulting hours.

51
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.000
You can find the link in the video description.

52
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.000
Thank you for watching.
