Building and using Moodle as part of professional ecosystems

Moodle used in various ways

MoodleMoot - conference PD toolMoodle - admin functionsMoodle integrated – CMS such as Fusion5

So what about creating an ecosystem - integrating Moodle?

What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem is a community of living organisms

and nonliving things like air, water and mineral soil, interacting as a system.

A professional ecosystem is also a community – a designed learning environment made up of a curated collection.

‘The collection can include static resources, human connections, formal learning events, developmental strategies, experiential learning practices, and more.’

First Ecosystem

Why are we doing this?

platform that powers the future of connected, professional education

Educators are the heart of a community – they must be valued, supported, recognised, appreciated, subsidised

Always ask “What does the Educator want to achieve?”
