HisPro allows you to view your grades and edit your personal details, such as your address – a user guide is available here (in German). Lecturers will often upload learning materials to ILIAS or Stud.IP, where you can also submit homework and other exercises (see our video guide). Within the university, Big Blue Button is used as a video conference tool, and HGU Cloud is available as a place to store files online.
