FAQ - RWTHapp

RWTHapp is available for Android and iOS and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store (opens in new tab) and Apple App Store (opens in new tab). Additionally, the app can also be obtained via F-Droid.

In order to be able to use the full range of functions, a login via OAuth with your personal username (format: ab123456) is required.

The app requires the following authorizations:

• RWTHmoodle: Reading and writing access to learning platforms of the courses
• RWTHonline: Access to transcript, timetable and current registrations
• University Library (opens in new tab): access to the user account, retrieval and renewal of books and other media

The direct feedback function of the RWTHapp serves to facilitate communication between lecturers and students during a lecture.

Specifically, it enables the following:

• Anonymous Q&A: Students can ask questions anonymously via a chat channel.
• Flexible responses: Lecturers can respond to these questions either in writing within the app or verbally in front of all attendees.
• Interactive elements: Polls and quizzes can be created, and their results can be discussed together immediately.
