This must be the heart of the course. However, it is not clear, how this should be done best.

Note

There is a major issue about the version being used:

From the student's perspective it is best to use the newest version to be on the most recent level.

From the teacher's perspective it is best to continue with the version choosen at the beginning of the course. If the course material was changed for every update of only the server, then the course will be under construction for ever.

It is necessary to develop a strategy to close that gap. A rough idea would be the teachers starting with one particular version and complete the course with these "frozen" versions. At the end, the teachers and students create groups to migrate the exercises to the newer versions.
