In the summer semester 2025, the RWTHmoodle team will test two course templates for the first time. These offer a pre-structured course environment that teachers can customise and use directly. The two templates focus on different aspects:
- Course room organisation and structure – for a clear, uniform and well-structured course design
- Multimedia and interactive learning – with a focus on the integration of media and interactive elements
Both course templates are available for the standard topic format (classic section view) and the single-topic format (tabbed view).
You can find more information about the templates in the RWTHmoodle documentation. If you would like to test the templates in your course rooms, please contact Mrs Sandra Jaeger (CLS). Please note that in the summer semester 2025, the templates are only available in German.
The templates are intended in particular to support teachers who have little experience with RWTHmoodle in creating clear, standardised and didactically meaningful course rooms.
The templates can be loaded into the course room as a course format through the course room settings. They guide you through the required course room elements in clearly structured steps. Brief descriptions explain what purpose the element fulfils and what design alternatives are available. Predefined elements, which you can customise to your own requirements, allow you to get started with teaching quickly.
The design of the course templates was started based on the feedback from teachers in the yearly user surveys. Course templates with a focus on course room organisation and material provision were frequently requested as a support service.
We look forward to making the course templates available to you on request as part of the test phase. Your feedback will help us to improve the templates and further expand our support services for teachers in a targeted manner. Further course templates on specific Moodle topics are planned for the future.
