You will then be invited to share your experience of MoodleMoot with the African Excellence community in an online event.\n\n\n\nWe are looking forward to your submissions until 17 September via digiface@hs-kehl.de ( mailto:digiface@hs-kehl.de ) !\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoodleMoot Africa 2024 hosted by Unisa\n\n\n\nMoodle Education Technology Platform: uniting African universities to reclaim Africa’s intellectual futures and create sustainable African solution\n\n\n\nThe conference also calls on all Moodle LMS partners/vendors, educational technologists, learning scientists, academic and non-academic practitioners, scholars, researchers, and students who are interested in the innovation in the 4IR era to collaboratively proffer educational  solutions based on their knowledge and practical use of Moodle LMS to improve the current trajectory in the continent’s adoption and adaptation of education technologies. This could be based on Moodle Education Technology platform and other complementary  technologies such as Cloud technology platforms, database technologies, application programming interfaces, plug-ins, etc.\n\n\n\nDr Martin Dougiamas, the Founder and CEO of Moodle is on record when he was visiting UNISA in December 2022, saying that his vision is to develop an Open Education Technology platform based on Moodle principles and foundational elements.
