Hands on learning, lightning sessions, 45 min presentations & social events
We have 8 two and half hour training sessions on Wednesday where you can get deep into learning Moodle, AI and more (hands on learning). New this year is the addition of more sessions, more blocks and shorter sessions. This will give you the opportunity to explore more topics and combined with the social aspects, allow for deeper learning. For the conference you will have over 40+ different sessions presented in eight breakout blocks that will be 45 minutes long. Combine this with vendor booths, informal groups, Mootcoin gamification, evening parties and more and you have plenty of learning and engagement opportunities.
Schedule at a glance below - subject to change.
