Moodle 5.1 brought with it some impressive changes to Moodle, including the updated directory structure, the r.php router, and the incremental integration of Composer for dependency management. In this webinar, we will discuss the implications for site administrators, in particular how the web server configuration needs to be changed to support Moodle 5.1 and upcoming releases. You will come away with a comprehensive understanding of why these changes were necessary, what they mean for your current installations, and how you can proactively prepare for future Moodle versions today.

Plugin Translator by Brickfield is designed to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist plugin translators when they are preparing language strings for Moodle plugins and Moodle Core! Simple!

This will save time for many organisations and plugin developers, in tasks such as:

• Site administrators needing some additional translations for their active plugins.
• Moodle Partners translating their local plugins for their clients.
• Moodle Partners completing the core translation in areas with low core translation percentage.

This webinar, presented by Gavin Henrick, will demonstrate how it works and how you can use the freely available plugin to complete needed localisation of Moodle Core or Community Plugins.

Teachers face increasing workloads and limited time for professional development. Discover how the Centre de pédagogie universitaire (CPU) at UQAR turned the holiday season into a unique opportunity for teacher development through two creative Moodle-based initiatives: The Festive Calendar and The Holiday Learning Journey. These projects combined gamification, festive themes, and practical resources to inspire teachers while addressing their busy schedules.

The Festive Calendar offered daily pedagogical tips in December, while the Holiday Learning Journey provided tools for integrating generative AI, classroom management, and active learning strategies. Both initiatives followed the RICE model (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), ensuring high impact with minimal effort.

Join Emilie Ringuet, Pedagogical and Technoeducational Advisor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski in Canada as she describes the reflective process behind those projects, the challenges of professional development for teaching resources, and the key outcomes of these projects. You'll also learn about the Moodle configurations and take home pedagogical resources and both projects in .mbz format. Let's unwrap the gift of effective, enjoyable and time-efficient professional development together!
