Forum Problems Installing LAMS: lessonLAMS Server unresponsive

Hi,

I`m an educational researcher (unfortunately without a background in computer science or programming) currently experimenting with lessonlams as a plattform for studying collaborative learning.

I ran a lesson with just 12 students yesterday (Dec 5, 4-6 pm CET). My students got logged out, nearly simultaneously, about every 30 minutes (I am sorry I don't have the exact timestamps). Is there something like a time-out after x minutes in lessonlams (I could not find this anywhere in the documentation), or was the server just very busy (maybe due to the conference?). By "they got logged out", I mean that students could not go on to the next activity, but a log-in screen appeared. (Incidentally?) this always happened during Chat & Scribe activities. After log-in, the lesson ran from the activitiy the students had been on, and all chat messages that had already been posted had been preserved. Still, we lost lots of time and therefore data.

What can I do something to minimize the chance that this happens again?

Thank you, Anne
