Dear Moodlers,

We're back with our monthly update about integrations.

1. We reached 400 million users on registered sites this month!

First up, we have surpassed 400 million users on registered sites, which is great news, as 1 out of 20 people on the planet are learning with Moodle, and that if we count only registered sites!!! You can see all our public statistics as well.

2. Integrations Survey 2024

This year's Integrations Survey is ready and we'd love it if you can spare 5 minutes to let us know which integrations are important to you. This way, we can focus our precious time working on the most relevant stuff. This year there is less writing and more clicking, so I think we'll beat the average 8 minutes time spent on it for the 2022 edition! Please complete the Integrations Survey 2024 here.

3. Two new exciting integrations!

Kialo, the platform for public debates, has recently launched a Moodle plugin. Kialo enables you to visualize discussions as an interactive tree of pro and con arguments. At the top is the thesis, which is supported or weakened by pro and con arguments underneath. Each one of these arguments can branch into subsequent arguments that support or attack them in turn. Discussion can be public (to all Kialo users) or private for a group of learners.

MaestrAI is the latest generative AI tool that is able to digest any content and spit out a full course with the informative and assessment items that you select. And best of all, the output can be exported as an H5P file or as a Moodle (MBZ) file for direct import to your LMS. It is still in beta, but you can request access at their website.

We invite you to register to join us for the free Moodle Academy webinar “Evoke – Moodle gamification for 21st century skill development” on Wednesday 29th November, at 14:00-15:00 UTC.

During this session you will learn how the World Bank team adapted Moodle for its Evoke Project to engage youth to develop 21st century skills. The webinar will share how the team included elements of gamification including skill badges, leaderboards, digital currency, and a marketplace together with a socially enhanced portfolio of evidence to engage out of school youth in Honduras and Guatemala.

This webinar is part of the course ‘Moodle Academy webinars’. You have to be enrolled in the course to join the webinar.

Register at Moodle Academy.
