Creating End-User Training Programs that Stick

Steve Kessler 30 June 2010
Type:  Not planned session

Often times end-user training is a quick phone call, a short video or a one sheet. In this session we are going to look at how to use strong training techniques to create end-user training for Drupal that sticks.

In this session we will explore what goes into creating end-user documentation that will increase ROI and lower total cost of ownership. In this session we will:

  • Look at what goes into high quality end-user training
  • Effective strategies for training
  • Writing manuals that work
  • Integrating training into projects
  • Making money with training

We will bring examples of our manuals and will share what we do that works for us and our clients.

Communicating Drupal visually

Heather James 16 June 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Calling all Drupal artists! This is a hands-on workshop. We'll review guidelines for designing visuals for learning. Then we'll create visual representations of fundamental concepts of Drupal.

Session goal: The goal of this session is to create informative visuals to assist in Drupal adoption.

Introduction: There is a presentation renaissance happening, and people are leaving the old tired bullet points behind. But there is a lack of useful visuals for Drupal. If you write documentation for your modules; if you present proposals to potential clients; if you deliver training, you find you need compelling visuals for your ideas.
