FAQs for students on interdisciplinary explanatory videos
The videos are available in the media centre and on the central platform for teaching content "ZOERR" of the universities in Baden-Württemberg. https://www.oerbw.de/
Yes, the videos are "open", i.e. they are not only available for everyone to watch, but may also be used, adapted and redistributed in lectures under the CC-BY licence.
The videos are not a prerequisite for learning specific content, but rather are intended to support the acquisition of key concepts. The videos are not a substitute for attending the courses.
The content is carefully selected and compiled by your lecturers themselves. A link to your basic lectures is always taken into account by using the familiar notations and terminology.
So far, institutes from the fields of engineering, physics, mathematics and chemistry are involved in the media library.
The videos are produced by the media production department at the TIK of the University of Stuttgart in constant co-operation with the media didactics department of the ZLW and the faculties.
Students on the major STEM degree programmes in the first semesters in particular can benefit from the videos in parallel to attending lectures and preparing for exams. The videos can also be used to refresh important concepts during the rest of the degree programme.
The project "digit@L - Digital Teaching and Learning at the University of Stuttgart: Boost. Skills. Support." is funded by the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre.
