After logging in, all channels created by your institute will be displayed in a list.

Step 2

Step 3
You can make various settings here.

Channel status

The Kanalstatus (Channel status) indicates whether the channel is open, closed or in read-only mode.

• If the channel is open, students can read and write contributions as well as participate in surveys.
• If the channel is closed, it is no longer displayed for students, and they cannot read or contribute.
• If the channel is in read-only mode, students can read existing contributions, but they cannot write any new ones.
  • Lecturers can continue to add their own contributions while in this mode.

Student view

In the student view you can set a welcome message, which is displayed to students.
Additionally you can create a password in case you do not want every user of the RWTHapp to have access to the channel.
Remember to save your changes by clicking on Speichern (save).

You can share the password by writing it on a white board. Students will be asked to enter it when entering the channel.

Channel content

Under Channel content you can manage the channel content or delete the content; the channel itself remains unchanged.

You can download the channel content (in the form of a text file). You can then return to the chat via the corresponding button in the taskbar at the top right.

Channel deletion

You can delete the entire channel under Channel deletion.
