E-Learning
Tutorials
Our tutorials convey essential information on central questions encountered in everyday university life. The video content is designed for individual self-study and offers in-depth background knowledge as well as practical recommendations for action. In addition to the tutorials, Shorts provide quick tips and step-by-step guidance. You can find information on the following topics:
- Finding literature within the University Library collection and literature that is not available at TUM
- Accessing literature of the University Library collection and literature that is not available at TUM
- Managing references using recommended software
- Citing – fundamentals and a wide range of focused topics, e.g., images, tables, and DIN standards
The videos are available free of charge and without registration via the following platforms:
Moodle Courses
On Moodle, TUM’s learning platform, participants can complete the core courses on literature research, reference management, and citing from our course program – accessible anytime, anywhere. At the end of each Moodle course, the acquired knowledge is assessed through an e-test. Upon successful completion of the test, a confirmation of participation is issued.
Access to our Moodle courses is available to:
- Students with a TUM ID
- Students with an LMU ID
- Guests using the guest key “Gast”
For Lecturers: Course Modules for your Moodle Courses
We also make our course content on academic key skills in literature research, reference management, and citing available as Moodle course modules that lecturers can import into their own Moodle courses. At the end of each module, the acquired knowledge is assessed via an e-test, and a confirmation of participation can be automatically generated upon successful completion.
You can easily request Moodle course modules for your teaching by emailing us.
The University Library’s Course Program
Our e-learning materials are based on the content of our course program. TUM members and external guests can benefit from the University Library's extensive experience and expert knowledge during the course sessions. We offer introductory fundamentals as well as in-depth information for advanced learners in literature research, reference management, citation, research data management, publishing, and bibliometrics.
Lecture Notes & Exercise Sheets
