Last month TELT members attended this year’s summer meeting of the Moodle User Group Greater London (MUGGL). Hosted by UCL East in their new Stratford campus, 60 colleagues from around London -based HE institutes and an online-only audience, gathered to discuss and share ideas and best practices.
This group has been meeting for a number of years and is attended by people from universities across London who make use of the Moodle (QMplus) platform, as well as other technologies. Most that attend are in Learning Technologist or related roles, and it is a supportive community which provides a great place for sharing knowledge and ideas.
TELT’s Enhancement Manager, Zaheer Daleel, is one of the MUGGL chiefs, alongside colleagues from other HE institutes such as King’s College London, SOAS and the BLE.
This summer's event focused on five main topics:
Zaheer (QMUL) and Sultan Wadud (SOAS) began by discussing the upcoming summer upgrade of Moodle/QMplus. They ran an interactive session (via Mentimeter) to garner the thoughts and plans of colleagues in the room and of those online.
TELT Learning Technologists Catherine Mclean and John Seamons delivered a brilliant session on QMUL’s use of the Brickfield Tool which encapsulated the journey taken from inception to rollout and onboarding. The team showcased stats, training plans, promotional activities and much more, of which the audience were very impressed.
Please see below links and resources below to find out more about the event.
