A MoodleMoot is a gathering to discuss and learn about Moodle. They take place all over the world and tend to be face to face conferences. Sometimes they are limited to a particular user group (for example, a school district) others are open to the entire worldwide Moodle community.

  • Vendor area
  • A Moodle site to share examples

Origin of name

The name is another example of Moodle humor, because participants at these gatherings are anything but "moot".

Actually, no, 'moot' is an old Anglo-Saxon word for meeting, and was chosen because Sean Keogh, who organised the first ever Moodle conference, is a Lord of the Rings fan. See http://moodlemoot.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=11 for the background.--Tim Hunt 08:54, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
