Digital Teaching:
In the winter semester 2020/21 the course "Renewable Energies, Energy scenarios and Climate protection" will be offered exclusively in digital form. Access to all relevant documents as well as further communication about the course is provided via the Moodle platform. If you do not have automatic access to the relevant course room (Dashboard / WiSe 2020/21 / FB13 Bau- und Umweltingenieurwissenschaften / Renewable Energies, Energy scenarios and Climate protection 13-K3-0010-vü WiSe 2020/21), please contact your supervisor (Susanne Hanesch, s.hanesch@iwar.tu-darmstadt.de) immediately by e-mail.

To participate in the course you will need

• PC, laptop or tablet with internet access
  
• TU-ID with personal password
  
• Access to the Moodle course
  

• In Moodle, from 27.10. to 10.11.2020, you can find an introduction video to the procedure and organization of the course.  Please watch this video before the course starts on 03.11.2020.
  
• Please also refer to the course overview with the schedule for the semester. The outline of the course can be found in both TUCaN and Moodle.
  

• The access data for the digital lecture room in Zoom can be found in Moodle.
  
• The PDF file with the slides of the lecture is available for download via Moodle one week in advance.
  
• Questions about the respective lecture unit will be discussed after the online lecture. Please send us your question(s) via Moodle up to one day before the digital lecture (Moodle function "Requested" for each unit).
  
• In addition, we will try to upload a recording of the lecture after each online lecture. This videocast will be available in Moodle for streaming (not for download) for two weeks.
  

• The access data for the digital exercise room in Zoom can be found in Moodle.
  
• The group selection for the processing of the study assignment is possible via Moodle from 03.11.2020 to 10.11.2020, 12:00 noon.
  
• The exercise will take place on the two individual dates 01.12.2020 and 08.12.2020 from 08:00 to 09:30. It will be carried out in a live session alternating between frontal presentation and short breakout sessions in the selected groups. The contents of the two exercises are necessary for the successful completion of the course. Therefore we recommend to participate in these dates.
  
• In addition to the exercises, the study assignment will be made available on Moodle, which can be worked on in groups of four from 17.11.2020. Deadline for submission of the study assignment is 09.02.2021 at 12:00 noon. The online presentation takes place from 8:00 to 9:50 a.m. on the same day.
  
• The group exchange and the processing of the study assignment will be organized by you independently. For this purpose, tools such as Zoom for group exchange (basic license available for students via TU Darmstadt) and Hessenbox for document exchange (30 GB available for students via TU Darmstadt) are at your disposal.
  
• Questions regarding the study assignment can be asked on the two individual exercise dates as well as on two additional online consultations for the study assignment. Please send us your question(s) via Moodle up to one day before the online sessions (Moodle function "Requested" study assignment). In addition to this, the Moodle forum should be used.
