Demo of MoodleBox and presentation of its challenges (presentation attached). A great discussion with topics such as:

  •  how to make the MoodleBox easier to use for the typical teacher
    • Install popular and sustainable plugins (e.g. those installed on MoodleCloud) into the MoodleBox
    • Provide the source (zip) of other selected plugins in the MoodleBox (which ones?)
  • the limitation of Raspberry hardware
    • 20 wireless clients is not enough! -> use an external dongle supporting Access Point features
    • No real time chip -> install one (look for instructions in https://discuss.moodlebox.net/)
    • No UPS -> install one, eg. PiJuice (supported out of the box by MoodleBox)
    • Put the Raspberry into a dust and humidity proof cas 
    • etc.
  • technical challenges 
    • How to support several 100s of wireless dongles?

And the BIG question: how to synchronize several Moodle instances (eg. MoodleBoxes) with a central Moodle instance, in both directions. On participant from Wien told that their company has a solution for this problem, but not published yet.
