  • Video Conferences with WWUzoom, DFNconf & Jitsi Meet

    Usage Scenario: meetings/seminars with medium (DFNconf, Jitsi) to large (WWUzoom) group size and high interaction of all participants; exchange of visual information via video or shared screen

    • WWUzoom: With WWUzoom you can carry out video conferences and digital meetings with up to 300 participants (including screen sharing and chat). Due to its uncomplicated use and high stability even with many participants, the service is suitable for a wide range of communication scenarios, including teaching.

    Video Conference Technology
    The WWU IT's video conferencing technology also enables more complex usage scenarios such as global multipoint video conferences from WWU lecture rooms or live streams from operating rooms in the medical field. You can find concrete examples in our overview.

  • Streaming (Teaching)

    For many scenarios, especially in teaching, a video conference is not the preferred option, but rather the asynchronous provision of previously recorded content. ZHLdigital has put together various options for digitizing lectures on its website on distance learning. A good alternative to live streaming, which is simple and can be done from home, is to add an audio track to your PowerPoint presentation. Students can view the presentation with a time delay. You can use our chat service Mattermost as a channel for student feedback.
