In the final days of September, Annette and Shoshi from the ELU attended the first Virtual MoodleMoot, to learn how institutions around the world are using Moodle (the platform behind QMplus).
Session topics ranged from 'Engaging Students' to 'Integrity of Assessment' to 'Video Capture and Virtual Classrooms'. The focus, naturally, was on the current crisis with representatives from the OU sharing insights from their current distance learning delivery, while the majority of the other participants came from institutions in a similar situation to Queen Mary. In all sessions, the question of mass upscaling in online provision was addressed and there was a lot to take away and feed into our ELU current practice and plans for the 2020/21 academic year.
