Moodle Virtual User Community Meetings are interactive, real-time events at which participants learn about and discuss key topics related to Moodle and its implementation and use at small, independent colleges and universities. Building on NITLE's face-to-face Moodle events, these virtual meetings are designed to nurture the sense of community established at those in-person venues.
At this meeting, Moodle users from participating colleges will present on a timely and relevant topic. Participants will also have time to share and discuss other topics and issues as well as successes that have come about since the last Moodle Virtual User Community Meeting, and learn about innovative ideas and practices from colleagues in a collaborative environment. Topic and presenters for this meeting to be announced.
