FAQ - RWTHApp

The RWTHApp is designed to support student lecturer communication during a lecture. In this way, a Directfeedbackchannel (chat) can be opened in a lecture, in which students can anonymously ask questions in real time, which the lecturer can answer either in the app or directly for all students present. In addition, surveys or quizzes can be created and the results discussed directly.

The RWTHApp is available for Android, Apple and Windows in the respective App-Store. The app can also be downloaded via F-Droid.

In order to be able to use the full range of functions, the login via OAuth with the personal user name (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 and timetable, access to current registrations
• University Library Loan: access to the user account, retrieval and renewal of the books and other media
• Retrieve user information: Read out your name, e-mail address and association with RWTH Aachen University (e.g. student status)
• Edit Push Notifications: Edit which of your devices receive notifications

Push notifications can be turned off or on at any time via the "Settings" > "Configure push notifications" button.
