From it’s beginnings in 2010, the iMoot has grown into a biannual event where the Moodle community, practitioners, administrators and decision makers meet to share the best practice in online learning.
It is a fully online conference that focuses mainly on the Moodle elearning software, related integrations and general elearning presentations. In the lead up to the event participants can get involved on the forums to discuss particular sessions or to network. All sessions are presented live; around half are aimed at people teaching with Moodle, the other half are for Moodle admins. During the sessions participants join via the BigBlueButton video conferencing software, get involved using text based chat in the virtual conference room, and at the presenters discretion may be invited to join in via audio or webcam if they have questions. Audience participation is highly encouraged. Sessions often have specific forums for follow up questions after the presentations.
After the presentation session, the recording is available for participants to review via the iMoot site, and some months after the event, we post the recordings to our YouTube channel.
All presenters at iMoot receive free access to the entire event and being inclusive, we welcome submissions in other languages than English.
