Teachers face increasing workloads and limited time for professional development. Discover how the Centre de pédagogie universitaire (CPU) at UQAR turned the holiday season into a unique opportunity for teacher development through two creative Moodle-based initiatives: The Festive Calendar and The Holiday Learning Journey. These projects combined gamification, festive themes, and practical resources to inspire teachers while addressing their busy schedules.

The Festive Calendar offered daily pedagogical tips in December, while the Holiday Learning Journey provided tools for integrating generative AI, classroom management, and active learning strategies. Both initiatives followed the RICE model (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), ensuring high impact with minimal effort.

Join Emilie Ringuet, Pedagogical and Technoeducational Advisor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski in Canada, on Wednesday 12th March, 15:00-16:00 UTC, as she describes the reflective process behind those projects, the challenges of professional development for teaching resources, and the key outcomes of these projects. You'll also learn about the Moodle configurations and take home pedagogical resources and both projects in .mbz format. Let's unwrap the gift of effective, enjoyable and time-efficient professional development together!

At this webinar we will welcome Riana Beachy-Hasenick, Liam Moran and Gosha Nikiforov at the University of Illinois Urban-Champaign.

ATLAS, the IT unit for the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has spent the last couple years configuring a Moodle environment to work as an LTI tool integrated into the vendor-provided LMS platform adopted by the University’s central IT unit. This initiative has allowed faculty to continue providing high-quality educational materials designed in Moodle, while satisfying students’ and administration’s desire for the campus to use one central LMS.

We invite you to register to join this free webinar on Wednesday 26 February, 15:00-16:00 UTC, to learn about ATLAS's user-centered development of the Moodle LTI tool, including user interface improvements, roster and group handling, grade syncing, notifications, and more.
