Cooperation, development and history
With the VIDOTEACH application, EGroupware receives an extension for video-supported learning and teaching. Further development and integration into EGroupware is currently being carried out as part of a collaboration between RPTU and EGroupware. The aim is to create a scientifically sound learning platform in EGroupware.

History & naming
The roots of VIDOTEACH go back to the “ViKoLe” project at the Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University (RPTU), where the first component of the tool was developed as a small technical solution. The entry of EGroupware GmbH opened up new options and led to independent research and development.
During a temporary, project-related cooperation with the University of Tübingen on development, the tool was temporarily known as “LivefeedbackPlus”.
Research and development then continued under the project name “smallPART”. Finally, the interactive video tool was given its final name VIDOTEACH. At the same time, the option to give teachers live feedback on their presentation was successfully integrated into the solution.
These developments reflect the continuous adaptation and improvement of our tool to the needs of the education community.
The result is a learning video tool based on the latest scientific findings in the field of didactics.
