Gather.town is a video chat platform designed to make virtual connections in a more interactive and engaging way. Abbe School of Photonics offers its students and academic staff the opportunity to come together in our tailor-made Gather.town environment called Abbe School of Photonics Gather.town.
The ASP Gather.town was designed as a digital twin of the ground floor of the ACP building with all of the corresponding rooms, labs, and common areas. This gives our students abroad a comprehensive impression of how the school looks in real life. They are able to enter the environment with the avatars they have customized for themselves, walk around, communicate with their peers and lecturers through their webcams and microphones, and access essential information about the ASP and the Photonics Master's program. In ASP Gather.town, one can screen the most recent job announcements in the Jena region and apply for a job in industry.
The ASP Gather.town served as a key tool during the Covid-19 restrictions and in the digitalization of the Photonics Master’s program. It has cleared the way for digital teaching and learning regardless of the location, family, health, or other personal circumstances of the students.
