Lecture2Go

Portal Software Lecture2Go

Lecture2Go is a media distribution software for universities and non-commercial institutions. The publishing of e-lectures at universities accompanies modern pedagogical concepts and is becoming an important part of eLearning.

In contrast to other providers like YouTube or Vimeo, the data sovereignty of the uploaded content is guaranteed by using one's own software on one's own servers.

The software runs on all major browsers and has been developed by a team from the Computer Center of the University of Hamburg on the basis of Liferay. The open source solution of Lecture2Go is customizable and can be tailored to your own needs and requirements. The design of the software can also be adapted to have the "look and feel" of your institution.

Based on Liferay and the Open Source Software Lecture2Go, developed by the University of Hamburg, other universities can use the media portal for their own e-lectures.
