Meeting rooms
Meeting rooms for the Nonlinear Optimization course
Depending on IP traffic, different video conference services may be more or less reliable during the lecture and exercise times. Therefore we provide several meeting rooms, which we will try and then choose the one that works best for all participants.
For the first lecture on April 23, we will first try WebEx, and if it fails, switch to DFNconf, Zoom, Jitsi, or Discord. Meanwhile we decided to use Zoom instead.
Zoom
Zoom appears to work best with the client software that needs to be installed, but might work in the browser as well. In case we need to resort to Zoom, we will use the following meeting, configured without password (should we be affected by zoom bombing, a password will be announced on the Whiteboard course site).

Discord
Discord can be used for text and voice chat as well as video calls for smaller groups (up to 10 participants). We have created a chat room for the course that is available during the summer term for asynchronous group discussions among participants and with us. We will show up irregularly in the chat room and answer questions, but for pressing questions, we’ll be probably more responsive via email.
A permanent invitation link for the chat room is announced on the Whiteboard course site (it shouldn’t be too public…).
Video and presentation equipment
For live presentation and lecture recording, professional studio equipment is the key. Just as an inspiration in case you want to have a lively presentation of your excellent homework solutions during the exercise sessions, here is the setup I used for recording the lectures.
FU WebEx
FU provides a Cisco WebEx video conference system for all FU members. We have scheduled a weekly meeting on Thursday 12-14:
