Fact sheet: Stud.IP

Description

Stud.IP (study-related internet support for classroom teaching) is part of the central study platform at TU Hamburg. Lecturers can use it to provide information and course materials, manage participants and organise communication with students. Via an interface to ILIAS, Stud.IP is also the gateway for creating interactive digital teaching and learning materials.
