Equipment

The web conferencing systems Zoom and Adobe Connect are used to participate in synchronous online events and to conduct practice moderations.

In addition, students are given access to further tools for audience interaction (e.g. Mentimeter, Kahoot!), which can be tried out during the exercise sequences (online/present).

Asynchronous learning activities are organised and carried out via the Moodle learning platform.

The creative and authoring tools Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Captivate, Vyond and H5P are used to create e-learning content.

As part of the (online) courses, further collaboration tools are used by the lecturers to support digital collaboration.

Professional audio/video equipment can be hired for the staging of live online events. This includes webcams, USB headsets and external screens. In addition, tablets and document cameras are available that can be used for live visualisation.

Three e-learning self-drive studios are available at the Ansbach campus for content production. The sound-insulated individual workstations are each equipped with a height-adjustable table, docking station, screen, microphone, headphones and power sockets. Furthermore, the Faculty of Media offers PC pools (30 workstations) with powerful computers. The stationary computers are equipped with common office programmes, with the "Adobe Creative Suite" as well as e-learning authoring tools. For mobile use, notebooks can be used as rental devices. The programmes used in the study programme are also installed on these. Mobile audio/video and lighting technology is available at our faculty for real film recordings.

Our seminar rooms are equipped with contemporary moderation technology (beamer, moderation case, pin board, flip chart, moderation marker, whiteboard, blackboard, etc.) and WLAN. They thus meet the standard common in adult education and enable students to practice using various media in face-to-face seminars and workshops.
