Wiki – u:wiki
For joint project work or work on texts, employees and students have access to a wiki at wiki.univie.ac.at called u:wiki. Employees can independently create spaces in u:wiki and then assign permissions for different groups of users.
Pages can be created within such a space. They are the central content medium in u:wiki and can contain various contents in the form of text, images, tables or uploaded documents. Pages and their content can be watched, shared with other people and commented on.
Online LaTex editor – Overleaf
The University of Vienna provides employees and students with the LaTeX editor Overleaf. It simplifies the use of LaTeX and can be accessed directly via the browser. This makes it possible to write, edit and create LaTeX documents together online.
Teachers can also make the additional functions of the Professional licence available to students by creating a project in Overleaf and sharing it with their students.
