Lernsax in Saxony is now running in Saxony, the study room in Berlin is causing problems. In Hamburg, at least on the second day of school after the Christmas holidays, it looks as if homeschooling could run technically without any problems there Hardly usable for a day. According to the ministry, the cause was a technical problem in the data center, but there were no capacity problems. “We are also dissatisfied with the frequent disruptions and apologize to parents and students,” emphasized a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Education. The technical problems of the learning platform for schools have now been resolved. “The platform is running flawlessly again today,” said a ministry spokeswoman on Wednesday upon request.

Berlin is examining alternatives Berlin has it After considerable difficulties on Monday, the first day of school after the Christmas holidays, there were new problems with the platform Lernraum Berlin on Tuesday. While various parents and teachers on Monday complained about long waiting times on Twitter, among other things, or were unable to register at all, the next day at least a lot of content for online lessons could not be found on the home page. On Tuesday, however, the education administration assumed that the platform would be stable again. Problems had already arisen before Christmas.

In Hamburg, after technical difficulties at the start of school, the second home schooling day is without major problems according to the responsible authorities started. There were no corresponding reports, said a spokesman for the school authorities on Wednesday morning. The server capacities have been significantly upgraded. The few schools that still use outdated school servers would be obliged to purchase new hardware at short notice. Experience shows, however, that it can take a few weeks until the new server is available.

Wheel is reinvented in every country Even before Christmas, the teachers’ association had criticized the fact that every country had its own system. “To this day I still don’t understand why every country has to reinvent the wheel here. That would actually have required a joint effort,” said Association President Heinz-Peter Meidinger. In hardly any federal state there is a really functioning learning platform, and the past six months have hardly been used to upgrade the platforms.

On Lernsax there are up to 80. 000 Daily users. There are 108. 000 accounts for the Berlin learning area, said the education policy spokeswoman for Left parliamentary group in the House of Representatives, Regine Kittler. It can be doubted whether much more is possible there. It is therefore appropriate to add another platform. Stefanie Remlinger from the Berlin Green Group suggests itslearning.

This is currently used in Bremen. In Schleswig-Holstein, as in Saxony-Anhalt, Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse, Moodle is used, among others, and the Fuxmedia platform in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Lower Saxony has the education server NiBis, Brandenburg the weBBcloud, North Rhine-Westphalia provides material about lern: line, in Thuringia and Saarland work is being done on a school cloud and Bavaria has the online platform mebis and Hamburg has the digital.learning.lab.
