      Supporting the Moodle Community in Japan

      The purpose of the Moodle Association of Japan is to promote the research, education, and development of the open source learning management system called ‘Moodle’ and its related systems. The Association provides a community for Moodle users in Japan to learn and teach about using Moodle in their institution. The association is a not-for-profit voluntary association (任意団体 nin’i dantai), financially transparent in nature, and is very similar to a formal Not-for-Profit Organization (NPO) although not officially.

      The Moodle Learning Management System is an open-source software project supporting online learning that has grown since 2002 under the direction of Moodle Pty Ltd and is used in hundreds of thousands of institutions and workplaces worldwide by over 100 million users.

      The Association functions as an organizational member of the world Moodle Users Association, Incorporated in Western Australia. In the conduct of its activities, the Association supports the international headquarters of Moodle Pty Ltd with fundraising and a portion of its membership dues to further the development of core Moodle software code.

2025 日本ムードル協会 開発ニーズ調査 / 2025 Moodle Japan Survey of Development Needs

by Don HINKELMAN -

Moodleコミュニティは、オープンエデュケーションおよびMoodle LMS開発の未来に直接影響を与えることができます。このアンケートであなたの声を共有してください。2025年Moodle開発ニーズ調査を開始しました： この投稿フォームへ

The Moodle Community can directly influence the future of open education and Moodle LMS development. Share your voice in this survey. The 2025 Survey of Moodle Development Needs is now open: Go to this submission form 

日本ムードル協会では、毎年、日本の会員およびムードル使用大学に対してアンケート調査を行っています。 役員、会員、スタッフおよび友人の皆様から、Moodle LMS開発に関する要望を募集しています。MAJがあなたの問題と優先順位を知るために、以下の質問にお答えください。これらの優先順位は、MAJがあなたの会費の一部をMoodleをより良くするためにどのように使うかを決定するのに役立ちます。私たちは毎年、あなたの会費から約100万円を寄付しています。このアンケートは、冒頭の4つの質問にお答えいただくのに2分程度かかります。残りの質問にはお答えいただく必要はありませんが、日本の教育者および学生が何を必要としているかを理解するのに役立ちます。MAJはこれらのアイデアをまとめ、最も必要とされるものを推進します。最後に、MAJのプロジェクト・チームを結成し、このような声に耳を傾けてくださることを歓迎します。
 
The Moodle Association of Japan conducts an annual survey of members and Moodle-using universities in Japan.  Officers, members, staff and educators using Moodle are invited to submit their requests for Moodle LMS development needs. Please go to this survey to help MAJ know your problems and priorities. These priorities will help the MAJ decide how to put a portion of your membership funds to make Moodle better--we donate about one million yen of your membership funds each year. This survey will take about two minutes of time to answer the four questions at the beginning--the remaining questions you are not required to answer, but they will help us understand what educators and students in Japan need. MAJ will compile these ideas and promote the most needed ones. Finally, we welcome you to organize and join a MAJ project team to help get these voices heard. 
 
このMoodle LMS開発ニーズ調査は、2月23日(日)に開始され、MoodleMootカンファレンス期間中、正午12時まで実施されます。2月28日(金) 中間結果は、同日午後5時からの日本ムードル協会総会で報告されます。 その後、アンケートを再開し、4月31日まで最終提出を受け付けます。資金提供の優先順位に関する最終決定は、日本ムードル協会の規約により、おそらく2025年5-6月、遅くとも2025年8月までに開催される日本ムードル協会総会で行われます。 会員は、日本でMoodleを使用している同僚とリンクを共有することができます。それらの友人の意見は歓迎されますが、最終的な結果には登録メンバーの優先順位のみがカウントされます。
 
This Moodle LMS development needs survey is opening on Sunday, February 23 and will remain open through the MoodleMoot conference until 12 noon. Friday February 28th. The interim results will be reported at the Moodle Association of Japan General Meeting at 5:00pm that day.  Then the survey will re-open and final submissions accepted until April 31st. A final decision on funding priorities will be made at a MAJ General Meeting, probably in May-June 2025, but no later than August 2025, by rule of MAJ constitution.  Members may share the link with colleagues who are using Moodle in Japan. Those friends' opinions are welcome, but only registered members' priorities will count in the final result.   2025年Moodle開発ニーズ調査を開始しました： この投稿フォームへ
