Human Lessons from Moodle’s Roles and Permissions Framework

In this session, we’ll explore Moodle’s elegant roles and permissions system, not just as a tool for managing users, but as a mirror for navigating boundaries and responsibilities in our personal and professional relationships. By diving into Moodle’s contextual permissions—allowed, prevent, prohibit, and not set—we’ll draw parallels to real-world dynamics, offering insights on how starting with minimal roles and gradually adding permissions can create healthier, clearer boundaries in both systems and life. Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on Moodle’s framework and practical takeaways for applying these principles beyond the digital world.
