Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - After another failure of the digital learning platform for distance learning, the Ministry of Culture has rejected allegations that Moodle is constantly collapsing.
The disturbance on Monday morning only lasted an hour.
The reason was a hardware changeover, said a ministry spokeswoman in Stuttgart.
"A short time later, Moodle was stable and smooth again."
In addition, numerous positive feedback from schools showed that the Moodle country solution is running very stable despite the high number of users.
The SPD education expert Stefan Fulst-Blei had previously stated: “And the Moodle animal greets you every day!
Once again, thousands of schoolchildren are sitting at home in front of their computers early in the morning.
Once again nothing happens. "
Even three weeks after the start of distance learning in the corona lockdown, Minister of Education Susanne Eisenmann (CDU) cannot get the technical problems under control, criticized the SPD parliamentary deputy.
The ministry declared the allegations to be unfounded.
The software with which the servers are operated is constantly being improved.
"In addition, we are continuously adapting the server capacities to requirements in order to ensure stable operation," said the spokeswoman.
"However, minor and short-term faults cannot be completely ruled out."
The reasons are varied.
"We will therefore continue to optimize the Landes-Moodle and expand it for the future so that we can react quickly to any problems that arise."
Moodle is a learning management system that enables students and teachers to interact with one another online.
In it, learning groups can be set up, tasks assigned and then processed and returned.
Students and teachers can discuss and exchange information in forums.
There is also a kind of chat function.
However, users report that Moodle in Baden-Württemberg does not have an easy-to-use system for managing documents.
