Co­oper­a­tion plat­form KOMO

KOMO is a Moodle-based cooperation platform of Paderborn University that supports cooperation with external users. In contrast to the university's internal learning platform PANDA, which is reserved exclusively for members of the university, KOMO also offers people outside the university the opportunity to gain access.

KOMO can be used for cross-university events, committee work and other university groups. The aim is to facilitate collaboration between internal and external partners, support joint projects and enable the structured exchange of documents in the long term.

What are the access requirements?

A key feature of KOMO is open access for external persons. The following access routes are available:

  • University members (students, teaching staff, employees): Login with the central university account
  • External users:
    • Self-registration with e-mail address
    • Login via Shibboleth, provided the external institution is authorised

Special adaptations for teaching

Although KOMO is not exclusively intended for teaching, courses and study-related offers can also be mapped via the platform - especially in cooperative study programmes or long-term courses. KOMO also enables the creation of permanently usable course rooms - independent of semester durations. This is primarily aimed at projects, groups and organisational units with internal and external participants.

Possible areas of application:

  • Project management and communication
  • Work and exchange platforms for research groups
  • Documentation and material collection for organisational units
  • Consultation or counselling rooms for lecturers
  • Material collections
