How to set up

You need to set up a couple of things before we dive into the main topic. My first suggestion is to bookmark this page. You should also prepare to check your FU e-mail regularly since this is going to be the main source of news.

I. Discord

You need to make yourself familiar with Discord. If you need help, check out the video below. I also discuss the setup in some more detail here in our Wiki. If you are wondering why Discord, check out the section by the same name in the appendix (or click here).

II. Blackboard

Blackboard is mostly going to be our file storage for sensitive or copyrighted material. Over there, I will upload:

  • Readings that are not available through Primo
  • Material provided by or including students, e.g. student presentations / posters, recordings

Make sure you have are enrolled in this course. If you are enrolled properly via Campus Management, this should have happened automatically. Feel free to ask me for help if you are having any trouble.

III. VPN and Primo

Since the library is closed, we need to take full advantage of the online resources it offers. In order to do so, every one should know how to connect to the Uni network without Eduroam. Setting up a VPN connection is part of your first homework.
