The focus of the conference is the internationally renowned learning management system Moodle, which supports personal and organisational directed learning as well as communication and interaction processes. Topics, methods, content, and technologies that do not make use of Moodle as a platform but are close to the central objective are also welcome.

The conference seeks to enable and inspire a transdisciplinary and cross-cultural knowledge exchange across hierarchical borders, as well as to present an opportunity to bridge gaps in theory and practice.

The aim of the conference is to gather suggestions, develop new ideas, discuss varying opinions, and spur development, while also stimulating social dialogue with other participants and tightening existing contacts to assure continuing interchange. The maxim of Moodle founder Martin Dougiamas: -œThe main value of an online course is not the content, but the human interaction and activities that take place around it!- can be seen as the motto for this conference.

The Topics

Submissions in the following subject areas in German or English are welcome:

• Theories and models concerning eLearning and Blended Learning in general, as well as collaborative learning and working, peer strategies, virtual teams, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0 in particular
• Theories and models concerning learning, teaching, and didactics
• Good practices using Moodle or other learning management systems
• Good Practices in the innovative preparation of learning materials
• Field reports on learning and teaching

Scientifically-based content, field reports, and user-oriented perceptions are required; visionary thinking and systemic considerations are welcome. Also proposals from participants with little or no conference experience are invited.


The deadline for the submission of proposals is August 1, 2008.
