Digital teaching at the University of Erfurt

The University of Erfurt uses the e-learning platform Moodle for digital teaching and the organisation of courses. Via this platform, students can register for certain courses and view contents such as literature lists, grades, etc. Moodle is thus at the heart of the provision of digital teaching formats at the University of Erfurt.

Against the backdrop of the corona pandemic, the University of Erfurt has decided to hold examinations in the summer semester 2020 – and, if necessary, beyond – as online examinations.

This will be based on the Corona Mantel Act passed by the Thuringian state parliament and a statute based on it, which enables and regulates the implementation of modified examination formats. Following a data protection impact assessment, the university acquired a licence for the examination software WISEflow from the provider UNIwise in the summer semester.
