Venue: NorthTec (Northland Polytechnic) - Welcome
Welcome
The Moodle Moot conference in New Zealand is rightly regarded as one of the best in the world - a great professional development event, well organised, but with a genuinely collegiate and friendly atmosphere. Please take a moment to read the organisers welcome, especially important if this is your first NZ Moodle Moot.
- Submit a proposal
Submit a proposal
The biggest single factor affecting the success of a Moodle Moot is the quality and variety of presentations. Remember, you don't have to be an expert to share your knowledge! Practical experience and helping others is just as important as presenting research and academic content.
The database below is for adding presentations and workshops that you can offer - everyone can add Comments and Rate ideas, and this will help us finalise the programme. Acceptance of proposals will be made during June-July and are selected to provide an overall balance of the programme, and to ensure there is 'something of value for everyone'.Submissions are now closed.
Thanks to everyone for such a high-quality and varied selection! If you would like to submit a late presentation/workshop for special consideration please contact stuart[AT]hrdnz.com.
