Takeaways from teaching Drupal in college
Time: Thursday 13th March 15:10-15:40
Room: Swinburne
Track: People & Culture
I have been teaching Drupal development for over a decade to various organisations, government departments, and the public. In 2022 I officially became a teacher and joined a local college. Over the next 12 months I taught programming languages (PHP and others), frameworks and content management systems to different student cohorts. I'm going to share a number of exciting and concerning takeaways I learnt while teaching Drupal with takeaways for teachers, students and the industry.
The goals of my session are to strengthen the link between the Drupal community and academia, to question a few educational institution stigmas, and to improve the way we as a community present Drupal to teachers and students.
I will touch upon important topics such as Artificial Intelligence AI (the good and the ugly), open source indifference, proprietary software vendor dominance, quality documentation, student reflection on real life projects, and how different content and context can change student perception of the technology.
