Read moreDrupal Open Learning Initiative
There are many great Drupal learning resources, groups, and tools but they can be somewhat disconnected and spread out. Our goal is to unify and bring these efforts together to provide a complimentary program and platform that serves all Drupal learning initiatives needs and efforts.
Drupal Kata
The Drupal Kata is a new project learning program that provides hands on training in a wide range of areas ranging from site planning, drafting proposals, project management, information architecture, development, design, infrastructure, to business and community. It does this by pairing apprentices with a mentor or mentors, thus gaining exposure to real-world scenarios and connections with the local and global community. The knowledge transfer allows apprentices to become proficient, contribute back to the community, and retain the skills for gainful employment in the field of their choice.
Drupal Dojo
The evolutionary stages of the program seeks to follow through with the Drupal Dojo 2.0 vision by building off complimentary sites and collaborating with existing teams. A collaboration with the Open Media Project will provide a unique opportunity to craft a custom program to provide development help, training, and documentation and marketing on a regional level.

Seeking easy-to-implement Drupal curriculum for youth
Does anyone know of an existing curriculum package that a teacher could use in high school, college, or youth group setting to train students in web design using Drupal? The students would have no previous web design experience.
If not, is anyone interested in contributing to a curriculum? Maybe using training modules you have already developed?
Thanks!
Drupal for NGOs - April 2009
Drupal For NGOs is a monthly series of events aimed at empowering NGOs to implement and manage their websites by knowing which modules to use and how to configure them. Each month will cover a topic in detail, showcase recent projects, and feature a Drupal question and answer session.
Which topic is covered each month will be decided by a poll, so if there's something you'd like to know more about please cast your vote or make a suggestion.

Presenter pool
There is an interesting write-up about remote presentations on the Open Media g.d.o. made by Kevin (kreynen@drupal.org). From their experiences it seems like it should be feasible to make a habit out of remote Drupal presentations.

Drupal Training in Reno
Three Days of Drupal Training in Reno Nevada!
Chris Charlton and Laura Scroggins are working together to provide two sets of Drupal training sessions.
Drupal resource repository that does double as an online Drupal course
There is a lot of teaching content out there, but there is no central place that can get you to all of it.
Yesterday we had a discussion about the future of resources aggregation and moderation for Drupal (e.g. videocasts, recordings, audio, write-ups,...). I've got a part (the first 30 minutes are missing) transcript of the IRC session at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgtrwwgw_1dtmqc5c2
There were basically 3 use cases:
1) Drupal Dojo where people come to teach and learn - sort of social network for learning and mentoring
2) A Drupal materials aggregator - that collects everything and that is community moderated
3) A moderated content list - where a list of comprehensive materials is made available
Drupal Dojo education and training track
Now that the Dojo has it's very own 100-seat-capable DimDim account for online learning and collaboration (access info here), there should be all sorts of ways we can leverage the platform (and 1700+ members) to demonstrate the various uses of Drupal in educational settings and collaborate on tools and solutions.
