1st #Moodle research conference and Dutch MoodleMoot

Moodle is still going steady and leading the community based LMS world. I love it, so I gladly send out the news for the upcoming Moodle research conference and Dutch MoodleMoot.

The Dutch MoodleMoot is planned for 30 May 2012 and you can find more information (in Dutch) here. And as a keynote they give the floor to Hans de Zwart (English blog) who is the innovation manager for global learning technologies with Shell. It will be a great Moodle meeting moment.

Alice Jesmont pointed me towards the upcoming alledgetly first Moodle research conference that will take place from 14 - 15 September 2012 in Heraklion, Crete, Greece (what a great location!).
More information can be found here: 

Deadline for submissions: 14 May 2012

And the description off the event is as follows: "The Moodle Scientific Conference will become a major event for academics, researchers, experts and practitioners - sharing experiences, research achievements and innovative developments with Moodle. It is a unique opportunity to participate in an event dedicated to research and development (R&D) on learning and teaching carried out with Moodle. The conference will provide opportunities for sharing, discussing and providing constructive criticism of research outcomes and methods.

The conference venue is a beautiful location in the historic island of Crete, Greece.  Participants will have opportunities to connect with peers and learn about new Moodle R&D trends and debate research ideas that could improve the design of Moodle in the future.

We invite scientists and practitioners to submit manuscripts (full papers or posters) critically reporting on quantitative and qualitative research results concerning learning with Moodle.
