======================================
The Stupla module for Moodle 2.x
======================================

The Studierplatz2000-Module enables the teacher to embed a Studierplatz(-Environment) into Moodle so that it can benefit from

- storing / restoring user data
- evaluate using statistics
- user administration / access restriction

Studierplatz(2000) is a web based learning-environment, that can be used standalone offline within a browser. Additionally it can be
connected to a (backend) webserver (oo similar), that stores the the user data centralised and allows evaluation/export of the collected data.
This Studierplatz2000-Module is a kind of adaptor to use Moodle as such a backend.

Further information about Studierplatz can be found under http://studierplatz2000.tu-dresden.de.
