# Remote Access for Teaching (Fernzugriff für die Lehre)

This source provides a comprehensive guide for instructors at the Universität Greifswald on how to access university services remotely to support teaching and administration.

## Key Requirements
- **Connectivity**: A stable internet connection with a minimum speed of **2Mbit/s** is required for smooth operation.
- **Device Support**: Access is supported via computers, smartphones, and tablets.

## Service Accessibility Matrix
The document distinguishes between public and internal services:
- **Public Services**: WWW, Email, and Web Conferencing are accessible worldwide without additional restrictions.
- **Internal Services**: Access to network drives and databases requires a [[vpn]] connection.

## Recommended Toolset for Instructors
- **Communication**: 
    - [[instant-messaging]] (XMPP/Jabber) and Web/Video Conferencing (via [[dfn]]) are recommended as alternatives to physical meetings.
    - For contacting students, the [[selbstbedienungsportal]] email function is the designated tool (provided students are enrolled in the course).
- **Data Exchange**: 
    - The URZ explicitly advises **against sending files as email attachments** within working groups.
    - Recommended alternatives: [[zentrale-datenspeicherung]] (network drives) or [[nextcloud]].
- **Teaching Implementation**: [[moodle]] serves as the primary online learning platform for implementing teaching content and scenarios.

## Remote Access Methods
- **VPN**: Used for accessing the internal network and specific internal services.
- **Telearbeit (VDI)**: Provides access to the operational workplace computer via Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
