Overview: Software and Service of HU for Home Office Use 

The CMS published a list of all software and services, which you can use while working from home.

 

Recording of Courses and Materials

The CMS has negotiated a campus license for the recording of screen content with the manufacturer Techsmith. At https://hu.berlin/screenrecorder you can find information about the tools Snagit and Camtasia for Windows and Mac respectively, including download links. License keys for activation are available upon request from your local IT representative.

In addition to recording on your own computer, it is also possible to record in an empty lecture hall.

For the sustainable expansion of the HU's IT infrastructure, we are examining whether Opencast as video management software in conjunction with Moodle would simplify the recording and provision of videos and can also offer added value in future lecture recordings.

First Steps via Moodle

First, please try to create an online scenario that is as simple as possible, with synchronous communication as a supplement, if possible, rather than a necessary prerequisite. Video conferences can be overloaded at peak times during the semester. In Moodle courses, on the other hand, you will find useful tools such as a forum, material supplies, task assignments, collaborative working opportunities (etherpad module with chat) and (self) tests to help you plan your event. The Moodle support team will be happy to help you with the planning.

 

First Steps with HU Zoom

The CMS has procured a one-year campus license of the webinar and video conferencing solution Zoom for all members of the HU. On the overview page hu.berlin/hu-zoom you will find instructions and guidance, an FAQ, and information on aspects of data protection and security of HU-Zoom. We will constantly expand and update this section.
