The Yale School of Drama, the second oldest college theatre association in the country, is building a new Drupal website to facilitate online learning for students and teachers alike. The initial scope of the project is for the Special Speech department where they’ll be using Drupal to manage all of their speech audio files used in teaching about regional dialects and accents. From there, they hope to expand and use Drupal to manage the entire Yale School of Drama website.

I just finished the first week for this 8 week contract and it’s going great. I’m the senior web consultant on this project (as usual!) and I am architecting the new site, developing the plans for how all of the various modules and components should be put together. I’m also conducting various Drupal learning activities and mini-talks over the phone on how different aspects of Drupal work and how they are going to be used in the new Yale School of Drama website.
