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.

Those of you with a training persuasion, check it out and give me your feedback - and vote on it - if you are so inclined. Address is: http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/training-boosting-our-raw-capacity-p...

Open Drupal Curriculum: A Drupal Learning Track
Last updated by silverwing on Fri, 2011-07-15 17:24
[This is a wiki - please don't hesitate to update, revise, and contribute your ideas!]
Goals and Objectives
The underlying goal of this working group is to develop a Curriculum Framework for Drupal Learning. To reach this goal we will:
Develop a common language for providing learning experiences and materials for those in the Drupal community.
This has been the current focus of the Learning Drupal working group.
- Create/circulate a survey to gain an understanding of what people really do in Drupal
- Identify key roles in Drupal Development
- Define Drupal Competencies that can serve as a framework and taxonomy for Drupal learning programs.
- Draft Technical Specification for Content Types necessary to frame Drupal Learning Taxonomy
Develop a framework for courses or learning tracks covering all aspects of Drupal
Read moreOpen learning and collaboration portal
The following project initiative 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.
Project Goals and Desired Outcomes
An effective learning, mentoring, and collaboration platform
Create a more effective platform to provide free online training, mentoring, and a showcase for Drupal. This goal encompasses these needs:
- Centralized repository for learning materials (video, audio, slideshows, documentation)
- Forum to attract, accept, and direct contributor time and resources
- Easy to use platform for real-time online mentoring
Dojo 2.1: Another attempt to revive the Drupal learning and mentoring group
Several months have passed since the Dojo lost it's way a bit when some noble ninjas attempted to create a great deal of good for the Drupal project. In a group of 1500+ members, there is no way to achieve any sort of consensus to why it stalled, how it could succeed, or what the purpose was in the first place. There are, however, a lot of indicators that the concept/ideal of an open learning/mentoring group is solid and is worth reviving.
