Welcome on the eLearning-platform labsystem.m-o-p.de!

What is the labsystem?

It is a web based eLearning tool for practical exercises!
The system was developed to support a specific didactical concept for practical exercises at universities.
The system is successfully in use for many years now at multiple German universities.

• The User-Experience (See the system like your course-participants see it!)

(It takes 5 seconds to restore the database.)

What are some advantages of this system?

• It is entirely web based...
  • ...so all you need to use it is a web browser. You will find that on nearly every machine in an educational environment.
• It is easy to use without big configuration...
  • ...so you can start immediately after downloading and unzipping the files on your web server. You do not have to attempt big configuration efforts to build new courses. Less than ten lines in a configuration file need to be changed to prepare an existing course for new students or even to create a new course!
  • ...the environment was build during the conceptual design of a new course, so all the functionality is adopted to what one needs as editor, student, corrector and course manager.
• It is fast...
  • ...the pages are mostly text-based so they are loaded quickly.
• It is tested...
  • ...as it is used at different universities in Germany for several years now. If you are a teacher and want to know more about this, you can contact us here.
• It features...
  • self-correcting multiple-choice questions
  • free-text inputs
  • authoring functionality
  • correcting functionality
  • course management
  • high configurability
  • multiple system languages (supports any language by translating a single file!)
  • interfaces to authentication mechanisms existing at your University/ School/ Enterprise/ ...
  • fast extensibility (php classes represent the learn objects)
  • WYSIWYG through easy tinyMCE integration
