We are excited to announce that Moodle will be hosting MoodleMoot Rwanda 2024 in collaboration with its Moodle Certified Partners and Guest Speakers, scheduled to take place on the pre-conference day of eLearning Africa, May 29, 9:30am – 5:00pm.
This event is expected to attract Moodle users from across Rwanda and the African continent who are interested in learning more about Moodle and its applications in education and other fields.
Moodle, an open-source learning management system, has a strong presence in higher education across Africa, as it is the most popular LMS used in higher education institutions in Africa.
Moodle is organising this event together with five of our top Moodle Certified Partners with extensive experience in implementing, customising and hosting Moodle for a wide range of customers. These Partners are AdaptIT, Catalyst, Edunao, OpenCollab and Think Modular.
The MoodleMoot Rwanda event will provide attendees with the opportunity to engage with our Partners and other Moodle experts and peers in a collaborative learning environment. Attendees will be able to participate in different sessions that cover a range of topics related to Moodle, such as Moodle administration, development, and teaching strategies. Additionally, the event will provide opportunities for attendees to network and share their experiences and best practices in using Moodle.
The MoodleMoot Rwanda event will take place alongside the eLearning Africa 2024 conference, which will feature additional workshops and presentations focused on e-learning in Africa. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend both the MoodleMoot Rwanda event and the eLearning Africa 2024 conference, which will allow them to gain insights into the latest developments and trends in e-learning.
Overall, MoodleMoot Rwanda is an excellent opportunity for Moodle users in Rwanda and from across Africa to learn, share, and network with their peers and experts in the field, and to further improve their capabilities with the leading LMS in the region.
