Digital Helpdesk

Help, maths? – Maths help!

In the Digital Helpdesk students can ask experts of the CCG their subject-specific questions that arise in the context of a mathematics course via chat. We

  • offer assistance for self-help,
  • give advice on specific individual questions,
  • provide fast and location-independent help!

It is also possible to make an appointment for online or in-person helpdesk office hours.
The Digital Helpdesk is an additional offer to lectures and exercise lessons. 

The Digital Helpdesk is handled via Rocket.Chat. Access is possible through the button on the right.

Tutor training for students

Preparation for the role as tutor at the OTH Amberg-Weiden

Our tutor training covers core tasks of tutoring, the scaffolding method for learning support as well as basic models of communication.

You will learn to prepare tutorials successfully and how to implement didactic principles in your tutorials. We also discuss how to respond appropriately to difficult situations in a tutorial and how to give constructive feedback.

Contact

If you are interested in participating in the training or have any questions, please contact Prof. Dr. Leonhard Riedl.

Competence Tests at the CCG

Recognising competences – supporting academic success

The Competence Centre for Fundamental Subjects develops and pilots competence-oriented tests to support study orientation and academic success. The aim is to enable students to reflect on their prerequisites at an early stage and to gain data-based insights for the further development of teaching and support services.

One example is Fit4Study, a university-wide, bilingual self-assessment for the start of studies. Implemented within courses, it combines a personal study profile with a subject-specific self-assessment (e.g. mathematics) and provides individual, non-graded feedback.
All competence tests are voluntary, GDPR-compliant and pseudonymised. Participation is currently possible only when the tests are integrated into a course.

Digital ressource pool

Individual practice and automated feedback

The digital ressource pool gives lecturers of the OTH Amberg-Weiden access to high-quality ressource collections for basic modules.

Available units:

  • Digital assignment pool for mathematics: Over 2000 digital tasks for moodle tests with individual feedback and interactive graphs, developed in cooperation with several universities.
  • Digital assignment pool for computer science: Automatically evaluable programming tasks for use in moodle tests, developed with teaching staff of our university.
  • Digital Assignment Pool for Electrical Engineering: More than 400 digital Moodle assessment tasks developed at our university and successfully used in teaching.

Are you interested? Simply fill out the form and gain access.

Learning Modules

Modular learning. Flexible use.

The learning modules are designed for use by both lecturers and students.

Lecturers can flexibly integrate the modules into their teaching, for example for revision units or guided self-study phases. Individual elements of a learning module can also be embedded directly into a course’s Moodle environment.

Students may enrol in the linked Moodle courses at any time to use the learning modules for independent practice. For content-related questions, they can contact the Digital Helpdesk directly.

Currently, learning modules are available for the following topics. They were developed within the IdeaL project and are now jointly maintained by the Competence Centre for Fundamental Subjects and the Service Center for Digital Assignments: 

Differential and Integral Calculus
Linear Algebra
Complex Numbers
Laplace Transform
