If you are a fan of #MoodleBox (#Moodle on the #RaspberryPi ). Voting for this issue on the Moodle 5 tracker for locally loading MathJax will help with allowing MoodleBox to upgrade to 5.
📣 #MoodleBox 4.9.0 is out with #Moodle 4.5.3+ LTS! Install it via #RaspberryPi Imager tool. Thanks @nmartignoni ❤️ https://moodlebox.net/en/news/version-4.9.0/ #openedtech #OER
Thinking about our friends in Bern, who are behind the #Lernstick project, decided to try #MoodleBox to set up an offline-first learning environment. We can has Raspi shell! #datahackdaysuri
Introducing MoonPiLlama
Adam Jenkins has made a Youtube video showing how to install #MoodleBox and Ollama on a Raspberry Pi4. MoodleBox is a custom distribution of #Moodle specifically for the Raspberry Pi. However the Moodle part includes good information on generally how to get Ollama and Moodle to work together. It also includes gratuitous use of a yellow rubber duck
(Yes Pi 4 not Pi 5).
#MoodleBox is a custom version of #Moodle aimed at the #RaspberryPi and so suited for low resource situations. A common question is “what about performance”, or “how many students can be on it at once”. The project Maintainer Nicolas Martignoni has given a detailed response to a question about this here.

I was particularly interested in the response about #WiFi

Our paper about the Sopala project is now available on the MIT Open Learning site as part of the AI and Open Education Initiative collection. https://aiopeneducation.pubpub.org/pub/7npwm2su/release/4?readingCollection=06969c6d #OER #MoodleBox #Moodle @nmartignoni and others
Nicolas Martignoni https://fosstodon.org/@nmartignoni@tooting.ch maintainer of the MoodleBox project (Moodle on a Raspberry Pi) https://fosstodon.org/@moodlebox@openedtech.social project has updated the report in the #MoodleBox repository to recognise the new 16GB model.
I will continue to explore any performance implications of the additional ram both for MoodleBox and associated #Moodle related software.
#Moodlebox on #RaspberryPi 5 16GB works
I swapped the 8GB board for the new 16GB board. I re-assembled and restarted with the same microSD card and it worked as expected. That is based on about 5 minutes of testing.
For anyone intersted in running the #STACK #Moodle #question type on the #RaspberryPi
based #MoodleBox, I have added a wiki page to my repo which briefly explains what I did
This animation shows a #Moodle quiz using the #STACK #Maths question type on a #MoodleBox . The #GoeMaxima back end is running under docker on the same machine which is a #RaspberryPi 5 with 8GB of ram.
#MoodleBox is a custom distribution of the #Moodle #VLE designed to work on the #RaspberryPi. I have it on a 8GB RaspberryPi 5 and the performance with me tinkering is very impressive.
Although it is “stock moodle” it has some system tools specific to the platform. One that recently delighted me was the check of undervoltage. I was running it from a standard USB source and it needs something more powerful for real world usage. It displayed this message.
📣 #MoodleBox 4.8.0 is out with #Moodle 4.5+ and remote access via Raspberry Pi Connect. Install it via #RaspberryPi Imager tool! Thanks @nmartignoni ❤️ https://moodlebox.net/en/news/version-4.8.0/ #openedtech #OER
Dernier jour du #MootFR24 ! La traditionnelle photo de groupe pour immortaliser ces moments incroyables de partage et d'apprentissage. Merci à tous les participants, intervenants, partenaires et sponsors pour cette conférence mémorable ! 📸
📣 #MoodleBox 4.7.0 is out with #Moodle 4.3.3+. Install it via #RaspberryPi Imager tool! Thanks @nmartignoni ❤️ https://moodlebox.net/en/news/version-4.7.0/ #openedtech #OER
My #MoodleBox presentation at #MootJapan24 was mainly to compare using #RaspberryPi 5 vs Pi 4. It is much faster (perhaps 2.5 times) but requires more power. With great power comes the need for cooling, though the case I have is passive and has no fan.
I bought a 100W power bank with me showing it is an entirely stand alone #Moodle server that requires no internet access and serves as its own Wireless access point. Several people at the presentation logged into it from their own devices.
@marcusgreen Here's a better link to our project (which includes Marcus as a significant contibutor) https://oertist.org/ Thank you for promoting it in Japan. I'm eager to hear more details of the conference
