Presentations Schedule
9:00 AM听 –听 OpenEdTech Global: Moodle in the Ecosystem of Open听
Presenter: Alexandre Enkerli, Technopedagogical Advisor, Eductive
What does it mean for Moodle to enter an Ecosystem of Open?听
Back in 2018, Moodle founder Martin Dougiamas has created Open EdTech. That association had its first meeting in 2019. However, it鈥檚 only in the past year that Dougiamas and partners have become more active in this group. This movement may have a profound impact on the flagship Free Software LMS. Broadly speaking, these developments put Moodle in an 鈥淓cosystem of Open鈥� which includes Open Data and Open Educational Resources as well as Open Science and Open Government. During this discussion, we鈥檒l explore the potential impact our use of Moodle may have in this ecosystem.听
9:30 AM – Moodle as a tool for grassroots collaboration and open-source educational resources听
Presenters: Chlo茅 Collins & Rebecca Peters, Teachers, C茅gep 脡douard-Montpetit听
A group of like-minded teachers from six CEGEPs collaborated to find a creative solution to help students navigate the intricacies of鈥痗ollege life and thrive in General Education courses. With Moodle as our shared platform, we created open-source lessons to improve students鈥� additional language skills and facilitate their transition to college. This presentation describes our creation process, explains the unexpected benefits that arose from our joint efforts, and highlights the importance of having an open-source platform for collaboration, professional growth and educational revitalization.听

Presenter: Fran莽ois Lizotte, Charg茅 de project, COLLECTO
Some of you already have access to Moodle 4 while others will have to wait a bit longer (a few weeks?). So rather than just presenting the latest news from Moodle, I suggest a conversation on some new features. Does it really make any difference for teachers? Do you have any favorites to share or even some frustrations? How about students, our final users?听
