Description
The Moodle open educational ecosystem is unique in the power of its community-based development. Over one year ago, he global Product Advisory Group (PAG) began as part of the reform of Moodle.org. This was followed by a soft release of the Community Funding Scheme to replace the Moodle Users Association funding of member-voted projects. Unfortunately, many universities found themselves unable or unmotivated to donate to the new funding scheme, yet willing to fund national associations that understand local needs and have not-for-profit status. In this roundtable, representatives from Germany, Austria, and Japan Moodle associations will be invited to share the plugin development projects that they are committed to maintain, and at the same time have identified critical core changes necessary for Moodle to keep up with rapid educational innovations and programming structural changes. One example of a core-change project is the Quiz/Question Bank project which is a consortium of several universities and operates outside of any association, but collaborates closely with HQ LMS management. Is this consortium a future model of community-based LMS development? Will associations focus on plug-in developemnt or find a role in funding core projects? These questions will be discussed and representatives of Moodle HQ, Brett and Marie, will be invited to ask and answers questions about their perspective into formalizing the role of national associations in the Moodle community.
