Module 7 "Online tutorials and digital consultation hours

  • Communication is essential for modern university teaching. In online tutorials and digital consultation hours, teachers of all status groups enter into a dialogue with students. In tutorials and office hours, concrete learning problems and possible solutions are discussed.
  • Practical experience has shown that events with a high number of participants (approx. 200) can take place in BigBlueButton (BBB). This means that large exercises, in which, for example, exercise sheets are pre-calculated and discussed, can be carried out in BBB.
  • Lecturers can use BBB as a web conference platform, which is recommended for didactic reasons or for better manageability for use in small groups consisting of 2-20 participants. It should also be noted that a high number of video images can lead to problems for students if the Internet and computer performance is poor.
  • If there are more participants in BBB (more than 20), make sure that all cameras are deactivated, except for the speaker's camera if applicable.
    • It is also recommended that the participants' microphones be deactivated/muted in the room settings.
    • Questions can be asked in the chat (or the display of a request to speak can be shown by entering a "!" or "?").
    • One person assumes the role of moderator, supervises the chat and gives the floor to the respective students in turn. If necessary, the microphones must be muted by the moderator.
  • BigBlueButton can be integrated directly into the respective course via a plugin in Stud.IP or Moodle.
  • Please also note the recommendations in Pillar I, Modules 3 and 4 for tutorials and exercises conducted in classroom or hybrid mode.
  • RZ and ZHD support the development of online tutorials and digital consultation hours and train the employees.
