Information on the online events in the summer semester 2020

For the in­tro­duc­tory courses and the fol­low­ing lec­tures and tu­to­ri­als the video­con­fer­enc­ing plat­form Zoom is used.

Par­tic­i­pa­tion in the in­tro­duc­tory courses of the Chair of Em­bed­ded Sys­tems is pos­si­ble with­out course reg­is­tra­tion.

Par­tic­i­pa­tion can be done via the Zoom app (Win­dows, macOS, Linux, iOS, An­droid) or via the browser. The cre­ation of a Zoom ac­count is not re­quired for par­tic­i­pa­tion. If you ac­cess the plat­form via the browser, Chromium is rec­om­mended, al­though the browser ac­cess is func­tion­ally some­what lim­ited com­pared to the app. In ad­di­tion, you can dial in by tele­phone, but vi­sual pre­sen­ta­tion of the slides is not pos­si­ble in this case.

Sub­se­quently, the pre­sented slides as well as a video with the slides and the on­line audio track will be pro­vided via the learn­ing plat­form ILIAS. For pri­vacy rea­sons, the video will only con­tain the audio track of the lec­turer. Ac­cess to the learn­ing ma­te­ri­als and the sub­se­quent on­line events (lec­tures and tu­to­ri­als) will only be granted after reg­is­tra­tion for the course.

After the in­tro­duc­tory events, sep­a­rate Zoom meet­ings are used for each event. The links to each Zoom meet­ing will be an­nounced in the events or on the spe­cific course page of the ILIAS learn­ing plat­form.

Note: We are aware of the pub­lished prob­lems con­cern­ing Zoom in terms of pri­vacy and se­cu­rity. How­ever, based on the ex­pe­ri­ence gained so far it can be stated that the Zoom web­site and Zoom, when used free of charge or when reg­is­tered via face­book or Google ac­counts, be­have dif­fer­ently with re­gard to data trans­fer than when using com­mu­ni­ca­tion via the app in the con­text of a uni­ver­sity con­trac­tual re­la­tion­ship. Fur­ther­more, we have ac­ti­vated all data pro­tec­tion and se­cu­rity-re­lated op­tions in our Zoom meet­ings, as long as they do not con­flict with the ac­tual pur­pose of use.
