The Yorkshire Moodle User Group is an "old school", "grassroots", and "in-person" get-together for Moodle users of all abilities - even non-Moodlers.
We welcome learners, teachers, developers, course designers, admins and everyone in between. I used to help run these things back in the late 2000s and I'm bringing them back. It is a small event, and we can only fit 40 in the room. If the event is popular we will do more and look for bigger venues, but for now, this is it.
There will be presentations, talk tracks, show 'n' tell, problem-solving, lively discussions, and much more. All held at The Park Place Suite in the centre of Leeds, just a 5-minute walk from the train station.
