Slides from our presentation at the Higher Education Web Symposium

Yesterday, Jody and I had the privilege of presenting at the first Higher Education Web Symposium, held at the University of Pennsylvania. Below you can find the slides from the first part of the session, which was part of our intro to Drupal and a showcase of some of the educational institutions that run Drupal sites. For the second part Jody did a live demonstration of some of the basics of setting up and running a Drupal site, which we were not able to record.

Throughout Jody's presentation the conference participants jumped in with questions, which covered a big spectrum of topics. One of the really interesting things to me, though I guess it really shouldn't be surprising, was how many of the questions were the same ones raised during the two recent usability tests. Not only did those tests help prepare me for addressing these issues when they arose, but it gave me one more motivational push to give a hand at the usability sprint at DrupalCon Szeged!

One last thing I'd like to note, for anybody who was at the session or who wants some more arguments in favor of using Drupal in a University setting, I highly recommend reading the following post, watching the video within it, and reading the comments: Dries Buytaert: Many universities use Drupal
