Dear students,
it is a great pleasure to see that despite the current situation our course is digitally on course...
I will be hosting interactive live online sessions for you, at the official times, using a technical platform which has really proven its mettle for these purposes.
In addition, you are granted access to digital spaces/rooms specifically assigned to course participants.
Technical and academic updates are regularly distributed amongst participants via e-mail messages, hopefully facilitating the move to and the moving around in this type of course ambience.
Technically, minimum requirements are an iPhone or Android-based smartphone (over WI-FI). However, considering we will be employing a digital whiteboard and a substitute projector system for sharing apps and data, your experience is probably going to be much more enjoyable and profitable if you participate using notebooks/laptops/PCs/Surfaces or iPads. Ideally, you would have a microphone and a webcam attached to your system. Where a webcam is not readily available, you might fall back to using your iPhone or Android-based smartphone device as a webcam. Apps that previous students have found useful include EpocCam (for iPhones) and DroidCam (for Android-based devices).
For participation in our digital spaces/rooms, an iPhone or Android device is fully sufficient. Still, even here you will of course profit from a somewhat larger display size.
Tuition language will be principally German, though we can take recourse to English sporadically if the need should arise. Don't hesitate to request this if you are not a native speaker of German.
In case you encounter any technical or digital difficulties, I will be happy to assist. I should add that I am also an IT person/software developer, since my student days, so we should be able to get things going together, and I am really used to offering this kind of support, so don't hesitate.
I am very much looking forward to having an enjoyable and fruitful time together with you, even though the circumstances are way beyond what we are used to, and demanding for each and every one of us.
For now, let me just wish you all the very best, especially health and stamina, both mentally and physically, and hopefully: see you soon online!
Sincerely,
Gunthard Mueller
