"Setzt man voraus, man hat nur einen begrenzten Zeitraum zur Verfügung, vielleicht 3-4 Stunden, welche Module, Lernaktivitäten oder Arbeitsmaterialien zeigt man den Kollegen in einer Weiterbildungsveranstaltung?"
Wir haben mal einer Gruppe Fachhochschuldozenten die folgenden LA vorgestellt und abgestimmt, an welche sie in den nächsten 2 Stunden arbeiten wollen.
Es kam ungefähr so raus:
* A: Forum
* B: Lesson, Test
* C: Aufgabe, Workshop
* D: Wiki, Journal
Vielleicht hilft Dir das.

Gratulationen für den Erfolg!
Wie kommt es, dass Bayern in Sachen OpenSource so fortschrittlich sind?
Sie müssen Ihren Erfolgsrezept uns verraten, denn hier, im "Bundesland südlich von Rhein" sieht es düster aus

Your first question "server placed in school LAN, access from LAN as well as from home": The idea makes sense, and it is also the case in many schools.
Of course one needs a little bit of understanding about networking to do this. Here is a short description:
A school LAN is, as the name implies, "local". IE, the computers get "private" internet addresses (IP addresses) which are not visible from outside. But you want your web-server (Moodle runs on a web-server) to be visible!
The solution is to ask your internet service provider (ISP) to assign you some public IP addresses. They are given in blocks of 4, 8 or more.
Once you get those addresses you assign your web-server one of them _in addition_ to the private address. Of course the domain name system (DNS) and network routing should be adjusted, so that a common URL always points to your web-server.
For the URL you have various alternatives: http://moodle.myschool.ac.uk, http://myschool.ac.lk/moodle, http://www.myschool.ac.lk/moodle, etc. [Now for the impationt: Don't klick, the links are bogus!]
If you don't have the technical personnel, try recruiting somebody from your local community. You may even find a capable pupil. And if the server runs on free software you'll find the community helpfull. (That is exactly what happend in my son's school! [1]).
Your second question on "stats": I was refering to the _present_ traffic, to get an idea what remains from the bandwidth. The most popular tool for that is called MRTG, a Swiss product. Here it is being used in my former working place [2]

P.S. We are drifting from the main topic of this forum. I suggest moving further discussion to http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=50 or to a suitable newsgroup.

If I understand right, the 2 MBit/sec line will be shared amoung all the users (Moodle or not) in the school. If so, you are likely to have a bottle-neck.
What is the current utilisation? Do you keep stats, for example with MRTG?
If you use Moodle in a classroom, on command all the pupils will try to access the same document at the same time. If, as pointed out by Michael, that happed to be a bloated Word-Document, it could kill the fun
Of course I don't know the pattern of your users. But if the scenario above is valid, it makes sense to have a server within
the school LAN.
LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL(PostgreSQL)/PHP) is a proven, efficient plattform, and it is free!

Hi Larry
Could you please explain me, given that
a) you couldn't get IIS going
b) Apache did the job
c) Apache is free
why you want to go through it again with IIS?
Coming back to the original question: Moodle main development is done on Linux. Added to that the open nature and the efficiency of free software, LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL(PostgreSQL)/PHP) is the ideal plattform for Moodle.
OK, in many cases, the know-how is a problem. But then, some know-how won't harm a professional job, will it?
