Moodle has a large number of privacy settings related to user data privacy and security in general. Most of us are not too familiar with them all, and they can be useful even if you are not using a privacy statement in the site (for example, users are coming from another web site where they already agreed to a privacy statement.) We will explore settings, work through a deployment of privacy policy and data retention rules, and share an example privacy policy.

Exams are at the heart of higher education. Yet creating, grading, and analyzing them often consumes valuable time of educators. In this session, we will share the journey of Ans, a platform that began at TU Delft as a student assistant project and has since grown into a widely adopted exam solution around the world. Through real-world examples and a live demonstration, we will show how institutions use Ans to make their exam process more efficient.

What does it really mean to manage a team versus lead one — and why does the difference matter? In this session, we'll unpack the distinct but complementary roles of management and leadership, offering clear definitions that cut through the common confusion between the two. Management, as we define it, is the functional role responsible for making sure things actually happen — encompassing personnel oversight, budget stewardship, and workload coordination. Leadership, by contrast, is the role of motivating and inspiring others, often adopted organically rather than formally assigned. While these roles overlap in meaningful ways (mentorship being a prime example), they are not interchangeable, and organizations that blur or collapse them often struggle as a result. Drawing primarily from business contexts — with principles that translate to any group or organizational setting — this session will make the case that both roles are essential, explore where they diverge, and give attendees a practical framework for recognizing and cultivating each within their own teams.
