I am excited to write about the upcoming Moodle Moot NZX being hosted by HRDNZ and Northtec.
Join us for Moodle Moot NZX 5th-7th October in the 'Winterless North"
It's a special year, as HRDNZ celebrate 10 years of being a Moodle Partner (wow!) and we would love you to join us for the best Moodle Moot ever !
New
Zealand Moodle Moots are regarded as one of the best in the world. They
are always well organised with excellent speakers and workshops, but
what sets them apart from other conferences is the friendly atmosphere
and support, the feeling of belonging to a community, and high level of
participation and sharing by attendees.
This year the Moodle
Moot is a celebration of HRDNZ being a Moodle Partner for ten years. To
recognise this milestone, everyone attending the event this year will
also be entitled to 10% off any of the HRDNZ MoodleBites courses - yay!
This year the Moodle Moot is structured to begin with a community day, followed by two workshop days.
The first community conference day
is a great opportunity to meet people and get yourself focused and
energised ready for the workshops. Keynote speakers are Scott Hunley
talking about The Internet of Things, Justin Hunt (creator of PoodLL)
speaking on the Life of a Moodle Developer, and Hazel Owen on Creating
meaningful assessment in Moodle. Stuart Mealor will reflect on Moodle
over the last ten years, and we'll also hear from some other great
voices across New Zealand.
There will be four workshop streams:
teaching, administration, management and developers. This is ensuring
there is "something for everyone". I am contributing a couple of
workshops this year so hope to see and hear some of you there. You can
switch between streams, and you'll find me in the teacher and management
streams.
So a big thank you in advance to NorthTec for
hosting venue and all that goes along with that role, and thanks to the
HRDNZ team. Do take the opportunity to say a big thank you to our hosts
and make some new friends over the three days. I find Moodle friends
become friends for life!
