BRIEF OVERVIEW: |
DRUPAL UAL are offering a 2 hour drop-in sessions where Students and staff can drop-in and talk with UAL Drupal web developers.
What is Drupal open source web development? Drupal is an open source web platform that provides an endlessly expandable web environment for individuals, groups, businesses and communities. The Drupal platform is free and an out of the box installation provides a skeleton web site for you to start to build and develop, if you want to add video to your site, Drupal has a module for that, integrate social media, there’s a module for that too in fact there’s thousands of modules for almost anything. And all this is made possible by the huge Drupal open source community made up of thousands of web developers who continually improve the Drupal software and create new modules every day. These modules are all offered for free back to you and me to take and use for free on our website, Drupal is a sharing community and those that ‘take’ eventually also become part of that ‘giving’ sharing community and so the open source Drupal community grows from strength to strength.

The programme will create and adapt existing training to meet the needs of this agile developed programme, (we want to offer bespoke/new training and contexts currently not available to staff and students). We will be adding a section to the developing programme that highlights what training is currently available at UAL and how they can make the most of what there is e.g existing Learn IT training, CLTAD training and Lynda etc.
If you would like to contribute to this project please contact Chris Follows c.follows@arts.ac.uk
