Hi Dale,
Thank you for creating the ML for kids learning website. I can't imagine this could be done as a weekend project - but you have done it and it's working beautifully.
By the way, I am expecting to lead 6 groups of elementary students (each group will have about 15 students) in the coming Fall (late Aug to Dec). Is there a limit to the number of students I can add to each group? Is there a limit to the number of groups I can create and maintain?
There is a 3-projects-limit for each teacher account. Will it be possible to increase that limit to more than 3?
Thank you and warmest regards,
Isabelle

RE: limit on the number of students
There is a default limit, but if you let me know the details of your account I can increase this to cover your 90 students. (You can send that to me privately if you prefer)
RE: limit on the number of projects
The limit on the number of projects students can store on my server is intended to get students to delete projects once they are no longer working on them - this is intentional, as a way of helping me keep the running costs for the site under control.
To be clear - there is no limit on the number of projects students can create. I want students to create as many projects as they'd like. But they do need to delete projects once they've finished with them. Allowing more than one current project at a time is only there to allow for a little overlap as students move from one project to the next, not a way to store many projects.
The motivation for this is to help me manage the hosting costs for the site. If I didn't have an incentive for people to delete projects once they've finished working on them, the resulting storage costs in keeping the training data around would increase exponentially.
Note that all of this is only related to projects that I am paying to store the data for. When you store the projects on your own computer (described in the tool as “In your web browser”) then I have no need to limit the number of projects at all, as it is your own storage you’re using, and you can keep all your projects.
Kind regards
