Dear new students,

We will introduce three learning platform to you at the beginning of the Wintersemester 24/25: namely LSF (course-portal), Microsoft Teams (chat-based workspace) and Moodle (the Learning Management System at our university). These are the main tools for digital teaching at Saarland University (UdS).

The following presence- and online-courses are available in German, English, French and Chinese.  You are welcome to register with MS Teams before the event (desktop version recommended). Your username is your UdS-ID@uni-saarland.de. If you have not yet received your UdS ID and password with a letter from the HIZ, please just attend the course via the button without the account.

The events will take place hybrid in the Innovation Centre A2 1 on the Saarbrücken campus and can be attended online at the same time.

Goodies will be distributed on-site at the event. If the tickets are sold out, the remaining participants will have to attend the course online. Registration will no longer be required for online attendance.

Feedback from former students:

  • "It was really helpful! Being an Erasmus student, I'm completely new to the UdS system and had many questions, which have all been answered very clearly. So I'm really happy to have participated to this online session! I'm very satisfied with all of the aspects."
  • " I would give it a 10+++/10!! The content was very thorough and detailed, it covers all of the necessary first steps a student needs to be familiarized with."
  • “All my doubts have been thoroughly cleared by the team. The organizers were really kind to us, always asking if we have some questions. They've sent all the necessary links into chat box.”
