At the MoodleMoot in Miami (November 2017) we asked participants for their input to the MoodleNet project. The slides and etherpad from that session can be found below;

In addition, we asked participants to think about their 'hopes', 'fears', and 'dreams' for the MoodleNet project. They also split into affinity groups to think about what people in their role/position would find it useful for MoodleNet to provide.
