The first Moodle Moot of the 2009-2010 school year will be Monday, September 21st from 12:00 - 1:00 pm in the Faculty Center (8th floor of the 600 S. Michigan building). Bring your lunch so you can Moodle and munch.

Moodle Moots are gatherings of Moodlers and any one who would like to learn more about Moodle. We highlight a new Moodle feature, show-off classes, share tips and techniques and have time for questions and problem solving.

Hope to see you on the 21st!
