General help

I am not sure about Moodle 2.0, but I know that our large enrollment courses wouldn't automatically do a course backup for that course anymore once they reached a large size. The back-up logs would show an error for that course. You could manually back them up fine though. I suspect that its a 'time taken to complete the backup' sort of thing in the automatic backup process. There may even be a setting somewhere that can be increased to allow more time. Most of our courses run about 150 students or less. We didn't see issues until the numbers hit about 200 in an individual course.

Hello Zunino,

there is a limit to a number of people that can be enrolled in a single course in moodle 2.0

Is this a question or Info? well assuming its a que I will say i have not experienced a limit before(though i use 1.99+). The little arguement i have to backup that is for example the frontpage itself to me is a course and by default all registered users are enrolled to it.....we have over 20000 users and we have not had any issues with limit.

Or are you asking whether you can set enrollment limit?

Regards

There is no limit imposed.

Some parts of Moodle become slower or use more memory as the number of users in the course becomes bigger, however Moodle generally scales very well, so with the right hardware you can have very big courses.

Our system currently has 750,000 users (168,102 enroled on an active course) and we have 11 'courses' with over 20,000 students. (Those are mostly not really courses, more containers for general information and self-assessment quizzes that students can self-enrol it.

Thanks to all.

My request is exactly if there is a limit to a number of people that can be enrolled in a single course in moodle 2.0

Many thanks to Tim you have confirmed my opinion.

Best regards.
