New video solution for LEA

Friday 15 March 2024

There is a new, permanent video tool for (educational) videos at our university. This tool is comparable in functionality to YouTube, but it is also 100% GDPR-compliant.
Permanent video solution with VIMP

Since our previous video service, educast.nrw, has been discontinued statewide, the university has decided to go with the well-established German company VIMP for a permanent video platform.. VIMP is already successfully used at many universities 
This platform is already being successfully used by many universities. For example, in North Rhine-Westphalia, the University of Bielefeld, the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, and the University of Police and Public Administration are using VIMP. Even the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt) has chosen this video solution.

LEA-Beratung
The E-Learning team supports with training, tutorials and consultations

Anyone wishing to upload videos to LEA can now use the "Videos (media portal)" object. Videos which have been uploaded to LEA via the "Opencast" object will only be available in LEA until March 28, 2024. If these videos should remain available, it is necessary to upload them again via the new "Video (media portal)" object.

During the video migration process, the E-Learning Team provides support with tutorials, consultations, support, and training. More information and training dates can be found in our LEA Toolkit (registration in LEA required).
