Hello—and welcome! In this video, we would like to introduce you
to the most important online learning platform at Universität Hamburg: OpenOLAT.
OLAT stands for Online Learning And Training.
First, sign into OpenOLAT using your uni username and password.
Now go to “Courses” and check whether
you can see all your OpenOLAT courses.
Lecturers and tutors can adjust the OpenOLAT course settings
to automatically give access to students
registered for that course in STiNE.
There are 2 reasons why you might
not be able to see all your courses:
It may be the STiNE registrations have not yet
been synchronized with OpenOLAT. In this case, ask the course manager
to add you to the OpenOLAT course.
Your lecturer or tutor may have opted to use a code to restrict access to OpenOLAT
courses independently of the registrations in STiNE.
If so, you must browse the catalog or conduct a search to find the course.
Alternatively, ask the course manager for the link.
Then, just enter the code to access the course.
Depending on the options set by the course manager,
you can view and share materials,
participate in forum discussions, and complete tests and tasks.
You can also use OpenOLAT independently of your lecturers, tutors,
and courses to create groups and invite fellow students to join.
Tip: You will only be able to find fellow students in OpenOLAT
if they have already logged in at least once.
Members of OpenOLAT groups can use
the email, folder, calendar, forum, chat,
and even video conferencing functions.
You can also work on MS Office documents together—
texts, presentations, and tables—
at the same time under the “Folders” tab.
See the OpenOLAT help section for further general information,
tutorials, and FAQs. You will find
a link to the help section on the OpenOLAT homepage.
