Moodle Bytes webinars
Moodle Bytes is a series of webinars, i.e., online seminars. You can join in from your desk computer or from any internet-connected device, such as your computer at home or even your mobile device. You will need speakers and optionally a headset with a microphone, and webcam.
Magic with Moodle events and Moodle Inspiration sessions (not currently running while we move to Moodle 2.6)
The Magic with Moodle series are a collection of case studies of innovative or inspiring uses of Moodle - some very small examples using a single Moodle tool, and others much more wide-ranging. These are featured both on the Help website and at events where you can find out more about how others at the University are using Moodle, and how Moodle functionality can be used to support your learning and teaching activities. Booking for sessions is preferred (then we can let you know if it's cancelled or there's a room change) but you can just turn up.
