30,000 teaching videos and 400 online exams
In planning the teaching activities, TUM can build on the successes of the summer semester. In a short time frame, the lecturers and instructors succeeded in producing more than 30,000 teaching videos and other materials for around 5,000 courses. They were supported by TUM's experts in academic didactics as well as more than 500 students trained as "e-scouts". Almost all students took part in the online courses. Early in the semester, TUM conducted a survey of students on the quality of online teaching and used this feedback to make further improvements for the coming winter semester.
TUM also conducted approximately 400 online examinations. They were a key instrument for enabling international students – some of whom could not travel to Germany – and students at higher risk from COVID-19 to take part in exams. The TUM Center for Digital Public Services, which was established this year, played an important role in drawing up the Bavarian legal regulations for electronic remote examinations.
