Virtual and Flipped Drupal Classrooms: How We Got Here

Drupal is a community of learners. In order to educate as many users as possible, Acquia has developed materials to more easily spread share knowledge with the community. Brian Silver and Dallas Ramsden, Training Specialists at Acquia, will share their practices in developing scalable training to empower the community at large.

This session will cover how the Learning Services Team at Acquia is moving forward to teach Drupal and Acquia Products to a global audience. We will discuss the keys to organizing great content, tools selected in their on-going adventure, challenges in speaking to a global audience, and remaining focused on education through storytelling to ramp up knowledge quickly.

No prior experience with Drupal or training is necessary to attend this event.

• Hosting and development tools available to authoring materials
