Connecting Communities of Practice in the Public Sector with Drupal

The 2010 National Education Technology Plan demonstrates the importance of educators becoming more connected to resources, tools, colleagues, experts, and learning activities both within and beyond schools. Educators are using online communities of practice to make these connections and facilitate their professional development. Drupal Commons has proven to be the ideal solution for this initiative because it delivers an inexpensive, highly flexible and scalable environment to meet the needs of these constituents.

Join Acquia and Forum One for this webinar where we will discuss how Drupal Commons has enabled the Connected Online Communities of Practice project to deliver a sustainable ecology of online communities for educators. And as a result how they are improving teacher and leader effectiveness, enhancing student learning and increasing overall productivity.

Attendees will learn:

  • How the Forum One team helped manage and deliver this project
  • Tips for minimizing IT resources with Acquia Commons
  • Techniques for fostering a successful community
  • How to apply this other public sector community projects

Who Should Attend: Public Sector leaders, Community Managers, Digital Media Managers, Technical Architects, IT Managers, Developers
