Hi Jason

Having been presenting at Moodle Moots in Oklahoma and San Francisco the last two weeks... I think your plan sounds good - focus on Moodle as a teaching technology, and include some technical / business areas too - so there is something for everyone

PMS initiative sounds interesting!

Stuart,

Thanks for the reply and I apologize for not responding sooner. Things have been hectic here.

I haven't talked with Manabu3 about the conference yet but am not really opposed to it, however, we are currently envisioning an academically oriented Moot that focuses first on using Moodle in various academic settings (e.g. language teaching, science, math, etc.) as well as use of Moodle to assist with curriculum and program management, and then as a secondary focus possibly hosting presentations with a more technical focus.

I am not familiar with the correct protocol for organizing a Moodle Moot so I guess I need to do a lot more investigation but we are definitely keen to host an official Moot so if the involvement of a local partner is necessary we'll be on it.

I did communicate briefly with both of the partners here in Japan about a year back with a proposal for development of a new enrollment plugin but ended up going with Moodlerooms in the U.S. as the two partners here in Japan were not in a situation to undertake the project. That project is in the alpha stage of development at the moment and will hopefully be completed later this fall and ready for contribution to the Moodle community. We are hoping to be able to present at the Moot we host (is that cheeky ) and explain how the plugin developed is allowing us to use Moodle as not just an LMS but also as a PMS (Program Management System).

Sincerely

Jason Hollowell

Hello Jason

Well, Japan is not too far from New Zealand (everywhere seems equally far away, lol).

Are you in discussion with Manabu3, Moodle Partner in Japan?
http://manabu3.com/moodle/

I think Bill (MD of Manabu3) is in Tokyo?
info@manabu3.com

I'd love to visit Japan again, and would be happy to talk about Moodle Certification and some of the other areas I'm involved with (social-networking using Moodle, using Moodle in Business, etc.)

However, we are pretty busy, so can only attend events that do have a Moodle Partner involved in a major way - what I might term official Moots, rather than smaller(?) informal gatherings.

MoodleMoot in Japan (1 Hour outside Tokoyo)

Jason Hollowell — Sat, 30 May 2009 08:13:22 GMT

by Jason Hollowell.

Hello all,

I am currently working on organizing a MoodleMoot (only in the very early planning stage) for the summer of 2010 in Shizuoka, Japan. The Moot would be hosted at my university (Nihon University - College of International Relations) which is located about an hour from Tokyo station by bullet train.

We are currently considering the first weekend in August as a possible time frame and most likely a two-day event.

Just throwing this out there to see what kind of response I can get in terms of interest as well as any pointers or recommendations.

Jason

TESOL Arabia 2009? Any other Moodlers going to be there?

John Allan — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:17:42 GMT

by John Allan.

Arabic Gulf Moodlers:

Where are all the presentations on Moodle? I am presenting on a model Moodle course on Thursday at 2:30 but I cannot see any other references to Moodle and TESOL. Is anyone else going this year? I love to chat as I had my initiatives mothballed and am wondering if anyone in the region is having more success than I am.

John

LearnX - Sydney April 1st-2nd 2009

Stuart Mealor — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 05:56:38 GMT

Hi everyone

Not strictly a Moodle conference... but given it's size this is worth posting...

I will be presenting a couple of sessions on Moodle at LearnX in Sydney April 1st-2nd

(E-Learning & Training Solutions International Conference and Expo)
http://www.learnx.net/learnx/

If you are an Australian Moodler it would be great to link up during the conference (or maybe in the bar after? - just make yourself known as they say )

Although LearnX will be smothered in commercial vendors pushing their proprietary products to HR and Training Managers, I'm sure there will be lots of interest in Moodle too!

Look forward to meeting you!
