 iMoot is an annual event where the Moodle community of over 32 million users are provided the opportunity to join together on a global scale. This web based event engages a global audience of Moodle practitioners, administrators and decision makers in one event for an online e-conference with a difference! The core aim of the iMoot is to ignite the sense of community and sharing for which Open Source and in particular Moodle is famous for.  An event for a meeting of minds to share the best of each of us with the others. With a new iMoot event comes a new site. Please make sure to point your browser to http://www.imoot.org to check out our new site. The forums are operational and registrations are open, this year with earlybird rates for those who want to get in before the rush.

First, a heartfelt thanks to the Moodle community, all the people who generously share what they've learned so that we can all improve learning and teaching.  Here are some of the resources the Moodle community has created:

Multi-tenancy has been a hot topic in the Moodle community for some time now and something we are often asked about. Now that it has been dropped from the Moodle 2.3 roadmap a lot of organisations have had to revise their plans on how to achieve multi-tenancy using Moodle. In this white paper Synergy Learning Technical Director, Alex Büchner, introduces the concept of multi-tenancy, outlines the benefits and offers three approaches to achieving multi-tenancy in Moodle.

The third largest Lutheran church organization in America with membership around 400,000.  Our training efforts support users here at the headquarters building in Milwaukee as well as across the US and the world. Our Moodle site is WELS.net University.  We have been using Moodle for about a year and a half to support primarily our technology system training efforts.  We do a lot of in-person training classes on our custom systems and post companion support materials online in Moodle.  In addition, we have been developing stand alone training modules for web based training.  Finally we have made use of the forum tool in Moodle as a communication vehicle for our various system user groups.  I elaborated on this in another forum post. If you are interested, you may view a live sample course that is publicly accessible.http://university.wels.net/moodle/course/view.php?id=63  It exists to support member congregations who sign up for web site hosting through our hosting vendor. .

The long-awaited day is finally here: Moodle 2.0 has officially been released in a production-ready version. ith better e-portfolio support, community hubs where educators can share courses, centralised databases for file storage, new features to explore, major improvements on existing features - will everyone be ditching 1.9x faster than you can say Moodle? Errr, not quite THAT fast.

Although Moodle by itself is a great system it does not previously have any embedded support for voice communication. This project created a Gong Moodle module so that teachers using Moodle can easily put a Gong discussion board into a course. The Gong activity can be supported as an individual one (for a course as a whole) or a grouped one (for each group inside a course). The module provides a seamless integration. For example, user authentication in the Gong system is done transparently to the users. They are not ever required to log on the Gong system separately once they have logged on to Moodle.

Moodle comes replete with blogs, forums, RSS feeds, wikis and more that enable it to be seen as an "absolute good" that opens the door, that enables powerful ideas to slay the fears our IMHO - slay the fears that leaders hold. In many schools, it can become the technology that ensures communication, collaboration, and global learning do become the predominant learning task, without losing that academic focus.
