To ensure that the university teaching schedule is not further disrupted by the novel coronavirus epidemic, and to maintain a quality online learning platform, the Tsinghua University online learning 'Rain Classroom' platform will now be run on an independent server.

The relevant instructions for "Rain Class" are as follows:

1. Please download the plug-in "Hetang Rain Classroom" from https://pro.yuketang.cn (it is highly recommended that you download the online installer package).

2. The Tsinghua server for "Rain Classroom" contains all data on the "rain classroom" public server which was uploaded before 12:00 noon, February 14, 2020. After that date, the Tsinghua server will be completely separated from the public server, with no data interchange.

3. Teachers are required to update and download "Rain Classroom" software specifically for Tsinghua. It is essential to switch back to the public server when needed (i.e. when giving open courses or reports).

4. The additional functions of "Rain Classroom" include:
a) Desktop sharing: The signal source can be a camera or desktop sharing (can be switched during live streaming), with the same usage as live streaming. In addition, multiple cameras or an extended desktop are available.
b) Volume adjustment: The software mute function will no longer adjust the system’s microphone volume.

5. Only teachers and students who have their identity verified by Tsinghua University can use this software. If this is not the case, please access the user identity authentication system of Tsinghua University.

6. The URL for "Hetang Rain Classroom" is https://pro.yuketang.cn  and it operates in the same way as the public server.

7. Within the Tsinghua server, teachers and students at Tsinghua can still set up classes to organize some activities relating to the first and second classrooms. Non Tsinghua teachers/students are also allowed to participate, using the public server.
