FAQ for employees at the institue of Mathematics at the Georg-August University in the summer term 2021¶

- When will the courses start in the summer term?¶

The university's hygiene guidelines apply to the courses. At the moment we are assuming level 3 and thus that the vast majority of courses in mathematics will take place online during the summer term 2021. If the situation changes, this will be communicated.

- As a research assistant, do I have to be present at my institute in Göttingen this summer semester?¶

Here, the university and the institute management will each make specifications according to the current situation of the epidemic. In principle, there are no changes to the official duties, especially the working hours and the place of work in Göttingen, even in the home office.

The most important thing is always that you can be reached during working hours - both for the colleagues with whom you work in teaching and research or who manage the institute for us, as well as for the students in your events. This includes regular processing of emails and messages in Stud.IP outside of vacation on working days.

The guidelines for social distancing can change at short notice over the entire semester.

- How are online courses made available to the audience?¶

The basis for the online courses will be Stud.IP with BBB and the media server. Videos, podcasts and other formats will be available online there.

- Is there a substitute for the lectures, for the classroom exercise, for the internship, for the exercises?¶

Lectures and exercises are planned. The technical requirements and the preparation of the lecturers have been carried out intensively. The responsible lecturers will then decide which solutions are really useful for the exercise in the hall and for the internship in the respective events.

- How do you proceed with regard to exams?¶

At the date 12. April 2021: We currently have no approval from the crisis team for exam inspections in attendance. We will first wait for the further course of the current exam phase and see how the corona situation develops - in order to then apply to the crisis team to view the exam on-site if necessary.

Nothing can currently be said about the third-party exams either. At the end of April we will start with the detailed planning and see whether the original planning (August / September) is retained.

- Where are the online courses, especially the live streams, recorded?¶

From Monday April 12th, 2021 (beginning of the semester), it is possible to make live streams and video recordings of the blackboard or the professional tablet (“Smart Podium”) in all lecture halls and seminar rooms. The permanently installed camera can be used as a webcam in BBB or zoom. If necessary, a USB webcam can be borrowed (please create a support request). The sound is played over the wireless radio microphone. The active boxes set up provide the participants' sound.

- How do I get “my” practice lesson digitally online?¶

A professional tablet device (Smart Podium) is connected to the network in every mathematics lecture hall or seminar room. You can then log into the GWDG server, open PDF and Office documents, read chats and take handwritten notes. Together with the radio microphone, you can use the device instead of the board and stream and record what happens on the screen live (as a cast) with sound.

- Which recording procedure is supported by technical support?¶

If you need support, please create a support request.

- What is the standard routine for exercises that are recorded?¶

1. Unless otherwise agreed, your practice lesson will be recorded at the time and in the room as shown in the course catalog. Specifically, with a practice time from 12 noon to 2 p.m., this means that the building is admitted at 11.45 a.m., from 11.45 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. time for technical preparations, from 12.15 p.m. to 1.45 p.m. the recording / cast of the practice hour takes place and from 1.45 p.m. until 13.55 the follow-up is ensured and the room is vacated.
2. In addition to your documents, please bring your headset with you if you want to use it.
3. Please go to the room in which your exercise is to be held according to VVZ. Please wait in front of the room until the person or persons from the previous event have left it.
4. Please disinfect the pen and keyboard.
5. Please log in to the “Smart Podium” with your gwdg password.
6. You may want to plug in your own headset and webcam if you don't want to use the wireless microphone and the permanently installed camera.
7. Please open the programs and websites that you need during your tutorial (Notes, Stud.IP, Adobe PDF, Powerpoint, geogebra, etc.)
8. Please start the recording and the cast (according to the enclosed plan, if necessary with the help of support).
9. Please carry out your practice lesson and make sure to finish it punctually at 9.45 a.m., 11.45 a.m., ..., 7.45 p.m.
10. If necessary, pack your headset and take it with you.
11. Please disinfect the pen and keyboard.
12. If necessary, please briefly do what you need to do in the building, e.g. B. Print out exercises or scan corrections. Then please leave the building immediately.
13. Please always keep the recommended safety distance of 2 m from other people in the building.
14. Alternatively: Tafelvorlesung aufnehmen oder streamen

- How do the students find out what is being offered and when?¶

In the coming semester it will be very important to follow the events very regularly via Stud.IP. Everything is disseminated and shared there, e.g. B. whether events are recorded and made available for download and / or streamed. In the case of live broadcasts as a cast / video conference, this should be carried out at the time shown in the course catalog for the event.

- Is it possible to hold lectures on a conventional blackboard and record it?¶

Yes, in all lecture halls of the Math. Institute and the NAM.
Tafelvorlesung aufnehmen oder streamen

- Is it possible to stream a blackboard lecture live?¶

Yes, in all lecture halls of the Math. Institute and the NAM.
Tafelvorlesung aufnehmen oder streamen

- How do you get prepared?¶

Different people work together on material and on a compact online training course on how online practice lessons can be created, planned and technically carried out.

- Where is the current technical status documented?¶

The current status of the technical equipment MI can be found here:
MiVirtualLectureEn
The following will be discussed in an open event:
https://studip.uni-goettingen.de/dispatch.php/course/details?sem_id=5f0e5fafc271bf582e803fcaa9b7651f
Above all, the possibilities of using Stud.IP and ILIAS to support e-teaching can be shown there.

- Where do I refer students with questions about planning their studies and who need advice?¶

Please refer to Dr. Denise Krempasky, the student advisor for mathematics, whose availability can be found on your website. She offers telephone and video advice: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/358995.html

- How do I contact the professors whose events I am supposed to be involved in?¶

Please log in z. B. via Stud.IP with your request. If necessary, make it clear that you would like a conversation. It would be helpful if you could indicate how you can be reached.

- Can / may / should / must we use the tools (BigBlueButton, Gather.town ...) for other contexts?¶

Social distancing has shown many of us the importance of having regular conversations about math. We can only encourage this. Use the possibilities that the GWDG offers you:

You will also find information on data protection on the website.
Please use other tools for private purposes: Skype, Signal, WhatsApp, Facetime

- What support can I get for mobile work?¶
