I will be leading two sessions at the DrupalCon Higher Education Summit on Monday, April 8th, 2018, and I’m using this post for my preparation notes.
You can find all the virtual directory for all the Higher Education Summit Session notes here.
Note
these agenda items are not hard-and-fast discussion items. Depending on session attendees and details I cannot anticipate, these discussions tend to grow a life of their own. I find that nearly always, the actual discussion turns out far better than I anticipate. Caveat lector.
Session 1; 11:20 AM – 12:20 PM

Agenda
