To support and encourage South Australian teachers in the effective use of Moodle a symposium is being planned for early term 2. We are targeting teachers and schools that are currently using Moodle and want to take the next step, or those that have only heard of Moodle and want to jump on board. This day will feature Five Minute Moodles (SpeedShare sessions), 25 minute Presentations and 45 minute Workshops.
