# Online-Tagungen (Online Conferences)

This source describes the support provided by the **Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ)** for organizing online conferences that include external participants using the [[moodle]] platform.

## Key Provisions

### Definition
Online conferences are defined as the use of [[bigbluebutton]] and other formats within the [[moodle]] learning and teaching platform.

### Provisioning Workflow
To establish an online conference, users must follow these steps:
1. Apply for a Moodle course via the standard [[kursbeantragung]] process.
2. Specifically request the "Online-Tagungen" course area.

### External Access
External participants can join these conferences via [[gastzugang]] (guest access). The system now supports the use of individual display names for these guests.

### Data Lifecycle
All data within these specific Moodle conference courses is temporary. The course is deleted immediately after the conference concludes; data is available only for the duration of the conference.

## Support
Technical assistance is available through:
- The URZ ticket system hosted on [[groupware]].
- The URZ hotline at extension **1420**.
