Hi Markus,
that is great, I was also wondering how to do this...

Are we anywhere near a decision what platform to use yet? I have given the Mapbender Introduction Training now for the second time and it works good for that purpose. So I was wondering whether we might want to adopt Moodle as one OSGeo platform (not the only one) regardless of which other maybe more scientific or complex solution we might additionally want to add at a later stage. 

Best regards, 
Arnulf.
