All courses in RWTHonline can get a virtual course room in RWTHmoodle. Certain groups of people are automatically given access to the course room with the appropriate roles and permissions, including the lecturers and contributors to the course and the students with a fixed place for the course. Course groups and the dates of the courses are also automatically transferred from RWTHonline to the course room.

Since summer semester 2022, it has also been possible to create course rooms for examination dates via RWTHonline. Here, too, the examiners and the students registered for the examination date, as well as other persons, are automatically given access to the course room.

For other usage scenarios, course rooms can also be created directly in RWTHmoodle.

1. Apply for course rooms via RWTHonline (course)

By default, a course room in RWTHmoodle is connected to a course in RWTHonline. You can get a one-course room per course. The course title, the course dates, and the participants of the course are automatically synchronized to the course room.

For the current semester, you can apply for and create a course room at any time. You can apply for a course room for the next semester immediately after the semester has been activated in RWTHonline. However, the course room will not be created until eight weeks before the start of the semester. To apply for a course room, please contact the person at your institute who has the function "Course Coordinator" in RWTHonline. This person can apply for a course room via RWTHonline in the "Edit course" section of the course by filling out the form (see below).

To find out how to apply for a course room in RWTHonline please read the manual "RWTHmoodle-Lernraum beantragen" (available only in German; homepage only accessible from the RWTH network) in the RWTHonline document portal.

Activate the checkbox to course room in RWTHmoodle and then click on "Save".

After the course room has been created, a link to the course room is automatically displayed in RWTHonline. The link can be found on the course detail view, under "Online information". Under the item "Online documents" the link "e-learning course" leads you to the respective course room in RWTHmoodle.

2. Apply for course room in RWTHonline (exam date)

Since summer semester 2022, persons with the Examination Date Management or Examination Date Management Administration function can request a course room for an examination date via the Examination Management application in RWTHonline. The course room is automatically created by the following day at the latest. The examiners as well as the holders of the function "Participant Management" or "Participant Management Administration" and the function "RWTHmoodle Administration" of the organizational unit that administers the examination date automatically receive the role "Manager" in the course room. Exam date administrators of higher-level organizational units do not have access.

Students who have registered for the examination date in RWTHonline are automatically booked into the corresponding course room in the role "Student*in". Students who are conditionally registered will also be granted access.

If you have multiple exam dates, please apply for one course room per date.

For detailed instructions on how to create a course room for an exam date, please follow the manual RWTHonline-Dokuportal - RWTHmoodle-Lernraum beantragen (Available only in German) in the RWTHonline document portal.
