Each primary presenter receives one (1) complimentary ticket to the event (generously supported by our 2010 sponsors); other TTIX participants are welcome to join at a cost of $50 (just re-register for the conference using the same email address and add the dinner; payments are through PayPal). There are still a few slots left, but once we’re full, we’re full!

Your Social Dinner ticket includes salad, meal, dessert, and a shared TRAX pass to the event (We’re still looking into our budget for drinks. No reductions if you transport yourself, sorry!).

The Dinner begins at 7:00pm. We’ll plan to meet at 6:30 in front of the Gould Auditorium where you can pick up your dinner ticket and TRAX pass from Marc or Jared. We’ll then walk to the TRAX station to board the light rail. When you meet at 6

Abstract

Drupal’s use is exploding in Higher Education. This session will introduce a new Drupal distribution designed to serve as a platform for building rich intranets for educational institutions.

Universities are large complex enterprises. Drupal’s modularity and flexibility make it the perfect platform for building a new social learning environment which “glues” together legacy LMS systems, Student Information Systems, grading systems, and learning happening on 3rd-party tools such as Google Docs, wikis, blogs, micro-blogging platforms such as Twitter, and so on.

I’ve been working on Eduglu for the past two years as a student at Brigham Young University and am now releasing it to the world and starting a company to provide commercial support and hosting.

This session will serve as an introduction to Eduglu.

  • How we build and maintain Eduglu.
  • Eduglu’s current functionality and roadmap for the next year.
  • Where your help is needed to make Eduglu thrive.
  • What needs a tool like Eduglu fulfills.
  • And why Eduglu is the perfect base for your next social learning project.

I expect to make the first beta release for Eduglu by Drupalcon. Alpha testers are welcome (and needed) now!
