In Norway it's expected that this kind of complexity with many-many groups and projects is handled by the LMS (Learning Management System/L�ringsadministrative systemer) as Class Fonter, It's Learning and so on. A LMS is crusual in the new Program for Digital Competence from the Ministry of Education and Research from 2004-2008. It's not traslated yet: http://odin.dep.no/ufd/global/language-en/index-b-n-a.html The testing of group performnce have made som positive contributions to the login-issu with many simultaneous users. Yesterday a dry-run showed us that it was reduced from 2 min. to 16 sec. whith an other db-backend, upgraded LDAP and bether tuning of the ldap-configuration. Thats good, but In my humble opinion it's not necesary with more than 2-4 grups for a pupil. The class, their role (pupil), and 1-2 projects. That should be enough. Let the LMS handle the higher levels of ambition with the Program for Digital Competence, project-documents for the pupils, classes and groups and so on. This is deeply rooted in the new strategy form the Ministrys of Education. They dont ask for added group complexity on file-livel. They expect LMS'es to handle this and other kinds of complexity :-) If you are unfamiliar with LMS'es.
