Day 2 kicked off with the annual keynote by Martin Dougiamas. It was interesting to see how Moodle Could has been expanded to include ad-free , higher user packages. This makes Moodle Cloud an attractive solution for schools looking for a low-cost SAAS Moodle. The Moodle Association which was announced this time last year is now fully under way and it was great to see this gaining traction. We were also taught the valuable lesson of not “Moodling whilst Driving!”.

The roadmap for Moodle 3.1 is exciting. When Moodle 3.0 was released, it felt more like 2.10, and it was met with little fanfare. However, 3.1 is really the version to look forward to, and the version I’m sure HQ wanted to release if it wasn’t for versioning numbers getting in the way :)

Learning Plans and Competencies (due in 3.1) have been a long time coming but one of the most exciting things coming to core I’ve seen in a long while. The possibilities with this are amazing, I can think of so many use cases.
