Next SMUG meeting - 18th November 2009
October 8, 2009 by Carol Walker, under smug.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 18th of November at 2 pm at RSC Scotland South & West with refreshments provided. Please put the date in your diary.
Please could you get thinking about what you would like to see and hear about and let us know. Tell us what Moodle developments you’re working on or how it’s being used by staff and students so that the knowledge and ideas can be shared with other group members. If it’s necessary, staff at the RSCs will make some suggestions to the group but I would reiterate that we are keen that the agenda reflects the needs of the community and that relies on feedback from members of the group. We will aim to have an agenda ready by the end of October so do get thinking and we look forward to getting together then.
Sorry, FULLY BOOKED
