Jetzt schlägt allerdings das Forum InformatikerInnen für Frieden und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung e.V. Alarm [2]: Mit seinem Bildungspaket Office 365 A1, dass Schulen kostenlos erhalten, versucht der amerikanische IT-Konzern hier seinen Fuß in die Tür zu bekommen – mit weitreichenden Folgen: Die meisten Applikationen sind webbasiert, Daten landen womöglich in der Cloud. Da stellt sich schnell die Frage, wie es um den Datenschutz bestellt ist, gerade wenn es sich bei den Betroffenen um Minderjährige handelt.

1) I'd like to setup a MOOc-like elearn platform that will enable instructors to setup,sell their courses and/or provide web-coaching. I don't think the default Moodle can do this. I assume that the instructors should be able to work isolated from one another. That calls for some sort of a multi-tenancy, which core Moodle is not. For discussions on this topic run https://moodle.org/mod/forum/search.php?id=5&words=multi-tenancy+multi-tenant.

Also see the discussion Running ONE Moodle site across 100s of schools - Why so hard??.

2) Integration with whatsapp. Also not available. Perhaps is coming. See Whatsapp as Moodle messaging.

I don't get your point. What is the problem the "world outside the academic world in private sector (and outside of british or american schooling system too...)" has, which will be solved by extending the session timeout beyond 4 hours?
