Moodle founder to speak at Monash symposium

A Monash Moodle Symposium, titled ‘Moving Forward with Moodle’ will be held on 6 and 7 December 2012 with the founder and CEO of Moodle, Martin Dougiamas, as the keynote speaker.

It will be held at the Monash Caulfield campus and, in addition to presentations from Monash staff, Mr Dougiamas will discuss the opportunities presented by the newest release of Moodle, version 2.3, which Monash has plans to implement in late November 2012.

The symposium aims to engage academic staff of all levels and experience with Moodle and participants will have the opportunity to develop and deepen their knowledge and discuss how Moodle has provided new opportunities to enhance learning and teaching.

The program committee is now seeking interested Monash staff to deliver a 20 minute presentation, demonstration or lead a guided discussion as part of the symposium. Potential presenters can submit an abstract of up to 250 words describing their presentation, demonstration or discussion.

Submissions should be contributed online to Moodle by Monday 15 October.
