Empowering Faculty to Integrate Generative AI in Online Assessment: Perspectives from Educational Technology Support Frameworks

This session explores how educational technology support units (instructional designers, learning technologists, and e-learning centers) can guide and scaffold faculty in the ethical, pedagogical, and technical integration of generative AI tools (e.g., GPTs) for online assessment.

Choose your Moodle: Evaluating Moodle Variants Against the Broader LMS Landscape

Standard Moodle is a powerful learning platform, but the moment an enterprise needs multi-tenancy, delegated administration, or compliance-scoped reporting across business units, the standard distribution runs out of road — and the decision tree gets complicated fast. This session walks through potential Moodle-based options for organizations facing that inflection point. Touching on options such as Open LMS’s WORK product, Moodle Workplace's commercially supported tenant architecture, IOMAD's open-source company-layer approach, and MuTMS’s plugin-and-patch approach.
We will compare each option across the dimensions that actually drive enterprise decisions: tenant isolation and data privacy, per-tenant branding and theming, delegated admin capabilities, hosting flexibility, licensing models, upgrade path complexity, and the availability of commercial support. Rather than advocating for a single solution, the session presents a framework grounded in real-world deployment experience, helping attendees map their organizational requirements — number of tenants, compliance obligations, internal technical capacity, and budget constraints — to find the option that fits their needs. 

Building Production Moodle Plugins Without a Net: Lessons from a Compliance-Critical Multi-Tenant Deployment

Real-world Moodle plugin development rarely looks like the documentation suggests — especially when you’re building for Moodle Workplace’s multi-tenant architecture, on a managed host without direct server access, for a compliance-critical platform serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This session is a practitioner’s field report from roughly 6 months of iterative plugin development: six plugins built or in-progress, all running in production, none built with the luxury of a dev environment that mirrors production. The focus is on the constraints that forced interesting solutions — tenant-scoped capability patterns, the $USER-by-reference session bug, opcache deployment traps, PHP namespace gotchas — and the spec-first discipline that kept rework manageable. Attendees with Moodle development experience will leave with concrete patterns they can apply; those newer to plugin development will leave with an honest picture of what production Moodle development actually involves.
