Join our partnership webinar with Acquia, "Connecting Communities of Practice in the Public Sector with Drupal,"on November 16 where we will discuss how Acquia Commons as an online learning community has improved teacher and leader effectiveness and enhanced student learning.
Overview
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. Acquia 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 Acquia 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 to other public sector community projects
