The Moodle Recap: April 30th, 2012

Top o' the afternoon! We hope everyone had a great weekend. Before we get to our weekly recap of some of the recent headlines in Moodle and e-Learning, we wanted to remind everyone that early bird registration for this year's Moodle Moot West Coast (July 31st - August 3rd in Woodland Hills, CA) ends tonight at midnight!

If you haven't had the chance to register, this is the last opportunity to take advantage of the reduced rate! Head over here to secure your spot!

And now, onto the news!

All the best,

- Brad
