Learning projects provide invaluable ways to gain experience and learn by doing; however, the lessons learned can also be extremely valuable to those looking for self-paced training or 'just in time' instruction and reference tools.
We are looking for individuals able to work with the Project Managers, Mentors and Apprentices to help insure that Learning Objectives are defined and met during the project--but individuals who are also able to help identify the valuable gems and develop them into on-demand lessons. Such lessons would be linked to the project archives and resulting resources, and they would be cataloged and distributed via the Drupal Dojo.
