Introduction to Drupal 7
This workshop introduces users to the basic functions for creating and publishing content to a Drupal 7 website at Appalachian. Users who will be maintaining a website are required to attend. Please note the prerequisites.

Having a Drupal site is a prerequisite because we have found that it is easier to retain information from the workshop if you have a site to work on already. However, people who are interested in learning how to use Drupal are welcome to attend as well.

Intermediate Drupal 7 Training
This workshop builds on the Introduction to Drupal 7 workshop by learning how to build books on a Drupal site, learning how to build columned page layouts with panels, and learning how to build webforms and access the submitted results.

Learning Collaborative Interest Meeting
AppState's Organizational Development staff is seeking committed individuals who are interested in forming a learning collaborative(s).

What is a learning collaborative?
-Collaborative learning is based on the idea that knowledge is a social construct.
-The learner is the focus of the educational experience.
-Interactive and experiential learning techniques are incorporated throughout the process.
-Learning occurs in peer groups and the facilitator serves as a consultant.

The goal of a learning collaborative is to help learners develop solutions to real-world problems and apply them to the problems they face in day to day work. Peers work in groups with the help of a facilitator to structure the most effective learning experience.

This interest meeting is open to any staff or faculty member who is interested in learning more about this concept. For more information, please contact Emily Wilson, wilsones1@appstate.edu.
