This presentation will highlight the process used to transform a government agency's new hire training program with the collaboration of SMEs, learning designers, and Moodle experts. Embracing the backward design model and leveraging Moodle’s versatile features, both asynchronous and synchronous tools were seamlessly integrated to cater to diverse learning needs throughout the new hire training program. This presentation will focus on the process, tools used and outcomes of the redesigned program.

The Moodle Tool Guide, first created by Joyce Seitzinger in 2010 for Moodle (version 1.9) has had an update and refresh for subsequent Moodle versions, including Gavin Henrick for Moodle 2.

Richard Oelmann and Tish Kirkland have each built on Seitzinger's initial work to create 2 further versions. In this webinar, they will each discuss their respective versions of the Tool Guide.

Join us in this webinar where the Moodle HQ and Tiny teams will dive into the integration of the TinyMCE editor within Moodle, now the default editor replacing Atto. This session is tailored for Moodle developers, and guides you through creating custom TinyMCE plugins and migrating existing Atto plugins to TinyMCE. Unlock TinyMCE’s full potential to enhance the editing experience and explore valuable resources for developers. This is a must-attend event for anyone looking to elevate their development skills and make the most of TinyMCE in Moodle. Agenda:

• Overview of TinyMCE editor in Moodle.
• Steps on creating TinyMCE plugins for Moodle.
• How to convert Atto plugins to TinyMCE.
• Maximizing the functionality of TinyMCE in Moodle.
• Developer resources and TinyMCE premium plugin options.

During this webinar you will learn about the new features in Moodle 4.5 for administrators and teachers.

In this webinar we will welcome Gordon D. Bateson, Professor at Kochi University of Technology in Japan, and Marcus Green, Senior E-learning Technical consultant at Catalyst IT. This presentation will explore the integration of AI into Moodle plugins.

Gordon and Marcus will start with a technical description, suitable for developers, of how it is possible for a plug-in to communicate with an AI engine, such as ChatGPT, via an API. Then they will show the mechanism of how their plugins utilize API’s to get useful results.

In the latter part of the presentation, they will demonstrate their plug-ins and show examples that may be useful to educators.

While this webinar will be most suitable for developers and educators, it may also be interesting to administrators to see what is possible with AI-powered plug-ins, and what settings they may be asked to set.

In this webinar we welcome Tim Hunt, Senior Developer at the Open University.

This talk will be divided in two sections, a theoretical part and a practical part. Tim will start by talking about what is most important in our use of Moodle: teaching and learning. Considering what is known about how education works, when can computer-marked question be a good thing to include in your course, and which ways of using them are likely to be most effective?

After establishing how quizzes can contribute to good course design in general, Tim will then talk about some of the features of the Moodle quiz and question bank which let you realise those ideas in practice. However, when implementing technology in schools and universities, it must work for the people involved, in the time they have available, and the institution must be able to administer that use at large scale. Therefore, to be effective, software like Moodle must balance the educational needs with other requirements.

Bei diesem Webinar werden wir Dag Klimas, langjährigen Moodler, YouTuber und Betreiber von Moodle-Guide.de, begrüßen.

Das interaktive Webinar wird im didaktischen Teil Beispiele behandeln, wie trotz AI/KI sich der Einsatz von Moodle Gegenseitige Beurteilung für die Teilnehmenden lohnen kann. Im Praxisteil werden vorbereitete Szenarien gemeinsam mit Inhalten befüllt und Dag wird im Anschluss die verwendeten Einstellungen beschreiben.

The Moodle Plugins directory contains over 2000 plugins developed and maintained by the Moodle community. Plugins go through some automated checks and peer-reviews by Plugins guardians before they get approved in the Plugins directory.

In this webinar, we will hear from Dan Marsden of Catalyst IT, NZ, who is a long-time Moodle Plugins guardian. This webinar covers the process that a plugin goes through when a developer submits their plugin to the Plugins directory, the checks that the plugin goes through, common mistakes made by plugin developers and what you can do to prepare your plugin for review. We will also cover how you can contribute to the review process by testing and reviewing other contributions to the Plugins directory.

Are you a developer or an administrator of a Moodle site? This webinar will be of interest to you.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of how organisations can ensure high quality of their courses through the strategic use of course templates. Our expert speakers will delve into the practical applications of templates to streamline and elevate the course development process, resulting in consistently high-quality educational content.

The webinar refers to educators, administrators or stakeholders seeking practical strategies to enhance course quality through the use of templates, while also providing essential event details and a clear call-to-action.
