LearningSpace Virtual Classroom


Tags :


        Well I am delaying what I spoke about on Libby's blog (doing a quick guest spot for her today).  Certification was the topic of the day, but the software known as LearningSpace Virtual Classroom has decided to act like an unruly child and misbehaved once again.
        For those unfamiliar, it is one of the E-learning initiatives.  It utilizes Quickplace 3 and LVC Course Manager on one server, and then Sametime 3 with LVC Session Manager on the other server.  Of course they are both Domino overlays and then there is the LVC Connector service that runs to make the two talk.
        Well you cannot schedule a session less than one hour in advance which is making one customer unhappy.  I know the connector needs time to, well connect of all things.  But since it constantly polls every five minutes for an available session server, why can't we move to more like 15 minutes?
        Second, can someone explain why the Course Manager server eats diskspace from 50-99% every few minutes and then goes back down?  Creating temporary files?  We are researching that now.  Looks like main.nsf and vcmm.nsf are the current culprits.
        Lastly, and I cannot find this in the admin guide or the install guide, another customer is looking to attach PDF files in the courseroom for download outside of any whiteboard files for the live sessions.  Hmm, can't seem to find it and technote state do not load unsupported whiteboard file types into the Session server or too large of files.  If your files are large, contact support to find out how to break them up.  Now that one sounds quite bizarre, but luckily they knew about it in advance.

Ok, off to find the whip and chair to tame the box
