Presentations Schedule
9:00 AM – Optimizing the Moodle documentation publishing process with Scenari (Dokiel)
Presenter: Marc Couture, Moodle Admin, Université de Sherbrooke
At the Université de Sherbrooke, upgrading to Moodle 4.1 and the ensuing major work to update our existing documentation led us to re-evaluate our online help and internal training materials. This re-evaluation was also made necessary by upper management’s decision not to renew our Confluence public license (Atlassian), the platform we previously used to publish our online documentation. After some research, we chose the Scenari open-source platform and its Dokiel documentation model:
(https://doc.scenari.software/SCENARIchain@6/en/ – https://doc.scenari.software/Dokiel/en/).
In this presentation, we will take a quick look at our experience so far, which has been very positive overall over the past year in which we migrated all our documentation to the Scenari platform. We’ll also present the next steps in our transition to Scenari, with plans to extend its use to helping faculty collaborate and publish educational resources.
9:30 AM – eConcordia Compass: A Case Study in Building a New Course Format
Presenter: Nicolas Dalpé, eConcordia

Our discussion will delve into the technical methods employed in building the solution, underscored by our focus on effective visual presentation and thematic expression. We will also explore the thoughtful design of course structure and navigation, alongside our refined assessment structures, to optimize both teaching and learning experiences. This presentation is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of our ongoing efforts to improve and adapt our educational platforms to better meet the needs of our students and faculty.
