There are many great Drupal learning resources, groups, and tools but they can be somewhat disconnected and spread out. The Drupal Open Learning Initiative strives to unify and bring these efforts together to provide a complimentary program and platform that serves all Drupal learning initiatives needs and efforts.

Our pilot program seeks to achieve the following:

Sustainable project learning and training program for Drupal
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.

Rebuilding the Drupal Dojo
Follow through with the Drupal Dojo 2.0 vision by building an effective platform to provide free online training, mentoring, and a showcase for Drupal, and ultimately a customizable installation profile freely available on drupal.org.

Community Driven Training and Collaboration
Develop a template for community based training and collaboration by working with local clients and community members. Our initial focus will be on providing tools and knowledge to empower communities.

Framework for an Open Drupal Curriculum
Create ongoing learning tracks and an open curriculum covering all aspects of Drupal.
