Workshop "From the Lecture Hall to the Net: Possibilities and limits of virtual seminar rooms"
Even though many seminars can now fortunately take place in the lecture hall again, there are always scenarios in which virtual seminar rooms and online meetings are useful and necessary. They make it possible to conduct teaching scenarios independently of spatial conditions and to communicate, interact and collaborate via headset and webcam. Online meetings, the connection of experts and the implementation of hybrid scenarios are just a few examples of further possibilities and scenarios of web-based video conferencing systems. These include, for example, the sharing tool, which can be used to share content such as presentations or one's own screen content, whiteboards, chats, surveys, and breakout sessions, which can also be used to enable group work in the virtual space. The main focus of online seminars is the goal and task-oriented preparation of the virtual event and the online moderation of the live session and the individual work phases. Particular attention must be paid here to methods for activating participants.
