Maple League Moot

Presented in partnership with Catalyst IT Canada

Join us for a Maple League Moot, a dynamic day of discovery, creativity, and connection centered on all the wonderful things we can do with Moodle.

When: Thursday, June 4th, 2026, 8am to 5pm

Where: Mount Allison University, Sackville, NB

Cost: $75 plus tax

We’re inviting faculty, instructional designers, educational technologists, and administrators from across the Maple League of Universities, with an open invitation to our regional colleagues beyond, to come together for inspiring keynotes, hands-on workshops, collaborative tinkering, and meaningful networking. Whether you’re refining your courses, reimagining assessment, or exploring new tools to engage learners, this event is designed to spark fresh ideas and strengthen our shared learning communities. Come "moodle' with us for the day and leave energized, connected, and inspired.
