Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - On day two after the school holidays, the digital learning platform Moodle no longer causes any problems, according to the ministry.

The Ministry of Culture announced that Moodle had started smoothly across the country in the morning.

There are neither overload displays nor failures.

The platform was stable on Tuesday morning with around 275,000 active users.

Further optimizations were made on Tuesday night.

The Central Contact Point Cybercrime (ZAC) at the State Criminal Police Office is also examining a possible attack on a Moodle server and the question of whether the problems on Monday were partly related to it, said a spokesman.

On Monday, Moodle was always down in sound and image at the start of the class.

Numerous teachers and parents complained via Twitter.

To contain the corona pandemic, daycare centers and primary schools in Baden-Württemberg should open next Monday at the earliest, all other schools not before the end of January.

Distance learning is to take place via Moodle, among other things.

Students and teachers can use it to contact each other online.

In addition, learning groups can be set up and tasks assigned and then returned after processing.

According to Oliver Hintzen, digital expert at the Association of Education and Upbringing (VEB) Baden-Württemberg, there are still problems with distance learning.

The fact that Moodle will probably run better on Tuesday is only partly due to technical improvements made in the meantime.

The number of hits on the digital learning platform Moodle has decreased significantly.

Because of the problems in schools, teachers now resorted to “plan B and C”: other platforms or entirely analogue means.

From feedback from the teachers he knew that some were now holding conference calls with their students or even checking out individual students by phone, explained Hintzen.

Some sent out worksheets by email, and where that didn't even work, parents were asked to pick up the printed worksheets from schools.

"That is an indictment."

One of the main problems is the insufficient data lines in the country.
