Various tools enable you to enrich your teaching with both audio and video contributions and then make them available to students. Below you will find tools and tutorials for recording audio contributions and for creating, editing and publishing videos.


Video recordings

Video recordings made from home offices enable learning content to be recorded and made available to students via LUH's own distribution platform, flowcasts. Contributions can be uploaded and managed here. The videos can then be integrated directly into Stud.IP and ILIAS courses for students.

It is recommended to create short videos with concentrated content that are no longer than approximately 15 minutes. The brevity facilitates both production and reception by students.
