Learning Objective/s: - What was your learning objective/s? - Learning objective/s achieved?	To learn if the paper ‘Virtual Lab Learning Analytics-Moodle extension’ is useful for teaching and research community? Yes, the participants gave feedback on the usefulness of such a tool and even suggested ways to improve the tool.
Key Takeaway/s: - Key takeaway/s from the conference (in relation to personal development or work in ETD / MOE.	I found that the physical setup of a simple physics concept to be interesting and featured by several expert presenters in this field that I can contact for collaboration with. For example, for each demonstration, we can make a virtual simulator to complement the experience. The escape room poster sharing was very innovative in blending quantum physics of CERN into a game setting using puzzles, locks and keys and electric circuits.
Application to Work: - What were the knowledge and skills acquired; and how can they be applied to your work in ETD / MOE?	We refine the prototypes (Moodle and phone webapps) for the 2 papers we presented and updated the Moodle to 3.6.4.  The knowledge and skills acquired also made possible the innergy Gold in 2019 in MOE HQ category for the webapps.
Feedback & Recommendation: - Was the conference well organised? - Would you recommend this conference to other MOE colleagues? - Any other comments?	Yes. Yes. 2020 World Physics Conference is featured as the next conference organised by the similar research groups such as GIREP.
