Surpassed 100 Moodle sites

Wow. I am amazed at how quickly teachers are latching onto the Oregon Virtual School District stuff.

Since I set up a system to automatically create school Moodle servers on demand, 109 Moodle instances have been spawned on the shared-code Moodle system. That means at least one teacher from 109 different public schools and ESDs in Oregon has been interested enough in the ORVSD offerings to give it a try. Of course, only a small number of them are far enough along to be using it with their students, but there are quite a few teachers getting up to speed with how the tools work. I’m delighted to see the system seems to be scaling up remarkably well. It’s not having any problem at all dealing with so many separate vhosts/databases running on the same Moodle install.

I expect we’re going to see an explosion of use by the end of the summer and beginning of next fall. I guess I better get those disk arrays ordered … we’re probably going to need a lot more disk space soon.
