CANCELLED: Presentations at Moodle Hack/Doc Fest at Macalester College

We will have a number of lunchtime presentations at Moodle Hack/Doc Fest at Macalester College, including topics such as “Development Workshop Roundup”, “Poodll Plugin”, and “Review of Gradebook 2.8 Workshop”.

UPDATE: Because of scheduling difficulties, we’re canceling the lunchtime presentations. We will attempt to reschedule the presentations — particularly Gradebook — as online presentations later this summer. 

All times are Central Daylight Time (CDT). The presentations will be available with a 7-second delay via YouTube and live via a Google+ Hangout.

More presentations will be added, so please keep an eye on this page for updates. Read more
