The office moved to a new location this week. The upside is it’s a much bigger space and I’ll need to do quite a bit more walking daily to get there. It’s been too chaotic to decide on the downside.

Okay, one thing I’m definitely not happy about is that I need to use public transport to get there and I waste more time commuting.

@marcusgreen @bhect0 @moodlefairy Yes, the online course (MOOC) was called Learn Moodle, I think. There were a couple of iterations; I think I did the very first one in 2013. Really very useful.
@marcusgreen I understand this has to happen (people retiring & things changing) but I still feel a little sad at reading this. @moodlefairy was one of the few people from Twitter I found on here and I always felt like her encouragement and support during a Moodle MOOC many yrs ago were key to helping me complete it & go on to use Moodle in my teaching in the subsequent years. Thanks, Mary, and best of luck!

She posted her goodbye in the Moodle forum here
