#iMoot recap: Miles Berry’s “Open Source beyond the Software” @mberry
This week I'll be further digesting the sessions I attended at the 2nd annual iMoot and posting my thoughts here. One of my favorite sessions was by Miles Berry (@mberry) of Roehampton University.

A few post-iMoot thoughts
Last weekend I was one of 100s of participants of the 2nd annual iMoot (online Moodle conference) event which was hosted and organized by Pukunui Technologies. Most notably the behind the scenes was managed by a tireless Julian Ridden (@Moodleman) and his staff of session moderators and helpers who got each presentation off without (mostly) a [...]

#MootUK11 Pics online at Flickr
If it weren't for the 3,675 miles between DC and London I'd try to make it to the UK Moot every year. Thanks to the great coverage by the UK team, attendees like Kristian Still and the resources posted after the fact to the Moot website (last year's videos) I'm able to soak some of the Moodle-knowledge up (albeit a little later).
