Drupal is slowly gaining traction in Education as the success of the recent meeting in London attests: http://drupal4education2009.eventbrite.com.

The session will cover a number of topics relevant to the deployment of Drupal in education:

* Suitability of Drupal for brochure websites, course management and delivery, community building, and sharing of information
* Which versions of Drupal to use and the recommended modules based upon your needs
* Designing and implementing the right architecture to meet scalability and security requirements
* Commercial, Enterprise Class support and services available for Drupal and associate infrastructure
* How does Drupal compare to or complement systems like Moodle or Mahara

It should also be an opportunity for people interested in deploying Drupal in education and academia to meet each other and organise.

re-tag?

i had trouble finding this session. maybe you can re-tag it with commas? so it can be found through a tag for just 'education'? surprised there aren't more sessions on education. :/

Conference is sold out
