At this conference, I’m mostly here to learn from all of you! Looking forward to getting to as many sessions as possible. I have an invited session on Friday, as well, and I’d love you to come and talk with me about the future!
Since 2001 I’ve been best known as that Australian guy who founded and led
Moodle, the open source learning platform that is used by institutions all over the world. A lot of my original code is still in Moodle today. I was full-time CEO of Moodle for over 20 years until January 2024. If you’re interested in Moodle should keep an eye on
Moodle.org (for the software and community) and
Moodle.com (for the business that pays for it all).
I recently decided to move to a new role running the
Moodle Research Lab as Head of Research, which is very exciting for me, because I get to get my hands dirty with cutting-edge technologies again (especially AI and AR), which is critical for understanding where education and open education technology will go in coming decades.
I’m also the founder of
Open EdTech, a non-profit based in Brussels, which is a new association of organisations and professionals interested in promoting open technology in education.
I’m also a director of
Open Education Global, a non-profit that promotes open education globally, as you might expect.
