Introduction to eLearning| ILIAS

Our eLearning platform ILIAS offers comprehensive options for students and teachers of HHN to manage all courses and materials. Scheduling programmes, managing lecture materials, starting discussions and many other functions make the day-to-day university life easier. For first semester students we offer exclusive dates for the introduction to ILIAS.

Library LIV | Virtual Library Tour

LIV offers several library introductory tours at the start of the semester.

In these events, which take place virtually on Webex, you will learn the most important things about the library LIV, the current options for borrowing and use, return deadlines, how to search the online catalogue, and you will also get a few visual impressions of the library.

You do not need to register to participate, all you need is a browser and an audio connection. Simply follow the respective "Participation" link at the specified time. You can expect this to be about 30-45 minutes long.

Please mute your microphones during the presentation; of course, you will be given the opportunity to ask questions during the event.

As soon as the dates for the library tours are fixed, they will be published here:
