In this episode, Dustin Ramsdell sits down with Scott Anderberg, CEO at Moodle, for a deep conversation on why open source matters more than ever in higher education. Scott shares how Moodle’s global reach, customizable architecture, and vibrant community are shaping more inclusive, creative, and scalable learning experiences. Plus, the duo gets real about AI’s potential—not as a threat, but as a tool to help educators and learners thrive.

Guest Name: Scott Anderberg, CEO, Moodle

Guest Social: LinkedIn

Guest Bio: Scott Anderberg has dedicated his career to supporting universities around the world to develop and deliver better educational experiences online. 

He started this journey in the USA at the eCollege help desk, directly supporting educators and students in their teaching and learning activities and was instrumental in their product, sales and account management functions. Following the acquisition of eCollege by Pearson, Scott spent 15 years in roles spanning from market development across EMEA to establishing and launching Pearson’s Online Program Management business in Australia and leading Pearson’s Online Learning Services business in markets outside of North America.

Scott joined Moodle in February 2024 to replace Moodle Founder Martin Dougiamas, who after 24 years as CEO, announced his transition to Head of Research. Scott is incredibly excited to be joining the Moodle community to continue to enable Moodle's impact for educators and students around the world.
