OLAT User Days
The focus of the user day is to exchange "best practices" and learn from each other. Every four years there is an OLAT conference instead of a user day. The first conference was held in 2008 followed by a user day in 2009 at the University of Zurich. In 2010 the OLAT User Day was held at the University of Hamburg and in 2011 the OLAT User Day will be held at the TU Dresden. The user days and conferences are open to everyone, no prior OLAT-knowledge is needed.

User Day 2009: September 11th in Zurich
The first OLAT User Day was held on September 11th at the University of Zurich. So far we can say: it was a success! The OLAT User Day gave the participants the opportunity to meet up others from the OLAT community. Just to come together, share ideas and to discuss matters of common interests. Main issues were the work with and on OLAT: Developers, authors and users were swapping ideas on workflows, problems, news and particularities the whole day through. The participant’s feedback was throughout positive.
In some way special was the format, the User Day was held like. This yet young concept of an "unconference" - sessions can be proposed and are determined by vote - did work also very well. Besides preliminary proposed sessions, last-minute contributions been considered. All sessions and its minutes, as well as further information to the OLAT User Day can be accessed on the OLAT User Day Wiki.
Last but not least: The first OLAT User Day also been the official celebration of the 10 years OLAT anniversary.
