¡Hola! #MootES18

The topics
- RGPD (GDPR). As the main line of attack of Moodle in Europe, the Moodle HQ team discussed the law, how the LMS is approaching it, the plugins and core technologies, and legal considerations in the months to come.

Avanzamos alguna de las novedades de #GDPR en la versión 3.5 de @moodle de #GDRP: hay unas settings dentro de “Administración del sitio”> users> “Privacy and Policies” en donde se puede determinar cómo se gestionan las políticas y los consentimientos de los usuarios. pic.twitter.com/lxXISQCt47

- Analíticas (Analytics). Many Moodle HQ developers involved with learning analytics, machine learning, and even visual interfaces for the predictive modeling, are Spanish or have a relationship with Spain, which makes this event particularly important when it comes to LMS Data. Applications of new technologies are worth keeping tabs on, such as the user’s “clickstream” or their stage-to-stage movement within Moodle activities.

- Colaboración (Collaboration). Features, plugins, and third-party services, and even MoodleNet begin to cement Moodle’s status as a collaboration-first EdTech company well into their second decade.

- Moodle HQ encore throughout the day, with talks about MoodleNet, Learn Moodle, Moodlerooms, debugging and automatically testing Moodle, and a “Dr. Moodle” session.

The future
This time, it was the DevJam that opened up the lines of communication for participants to voice their complaints, suggestions, and requests for upcoming Moodle versions. Attention on learning interfaces, better social media, and wider video format integration across the scope of Moodle activities seemed to be the order of the day. Another set of ideas discussed best ways to implement microlearning and “microcontent.” In corporate settings, Moodle could be better articulated with other organization’s processes and Enterprise Resource Planning software. MoodleNet continues to raise expectations. Finally, Moodle Mobile’s publicized redesign is expected to influence the LMS web metrics on adoption and engagement throughout the year.

On the “hardware” side of things, Moodle officially launched its second headquarters in Barcelona’s Eixample District. As Dougiamas has stressed before, the offices are a “gateway for further opportunities within Europe” according to a press release.

One last thing: MoodleMoot Global?
En la clausura de la #MootES18, @moodler anuncia que el año que viene la primera MoodleMoot Global va a celebrarse en Barcelona, y será un evento anual!
