UPEI moved over to a new and improved version of Moodle on Monday, August
5.
Please note that all current courses will remain at the address

There will be a link at the top of moodle.upei.ca called "Old Moodle" where
you will also be able to access your courses.
Please note that when you want to move your old courses into the new Moodle

Research Services at UPEI is about to launch its fifth season of Research
on Tap, and we'd like your help. Research on Tap is a monthly pub night,
held on the first Tuesday of the month from October to April. We meet at a
local pub (The Pourhouse, above Charlottetown's Old Triangle) for an
evening of ideas, discussion, and debate.
Are you a UPEI faculty member interested in leading one of these
discussions? Please get in touch with research communications officer Dave
Atkinson. He can be reached at datkinson@upei.ca or 620-5117.
Each evening is led by one researcher from UPEI. That person lays out the
central idea of their argument in about ten minutes. The rest of the hour
is for questions, discussion, and debate. The conversation is interesting,
engaged, and always lively. We average about 60 attendees (and have had
more than 100 on a few occasions), more than half are from the general
public.
Discussions topics can be from any discipline, but should be accessible to
the public, and should be related in some way to your research. As a
general rule, if it would make for good dinner conversation, it would make
for a good Research on Tap.
If you have an idea, drop Dave a line. If you would like help focusing your
idea into an appropriate Research on Tap subject, talk to Dave. He'd be
glad to help.
For the past five weeks, 140 amazing sixteen and seventeen year olds have
been on campus participating in the Explore Summer Language Program.
Tomorrow (August 7) our students are presenting their final projects at
our annual project fair where each student presents on a topic that
interests them.
Topics range from zombies to Beatles music and from the
meaning of dreams to binary code; so its sure to be fun and informative.
The fair takes place in McMillan Hall (the W.A. Murphy Student Centre) from 10:00-11:30 am
and 1:30-3:00 pm.
If you have a few minutes tomorrow, please drop by.
