Session: Rice University - Connexions Case Study / Plone In Action - Lightning Talks
Instructor: Ken Wasetis & Philip Schatz
Training Track: Plone Core CMS
Audience: Administrators, Businesspeople, Content Creators, Developers
This session will begin with 30-45-minute Connexions Case Study by Rice University followed by several Lightning Talks. Lightning Talks are small 5-minute presentations that force a presenter to pack a lot of substance into a short period.
We will have presentations from various vendors and users of the Plone CMS, who will present and demonstrate how Plone is used for their clients or by their organization.
Some examples include:
- Connexions
- Plone as a Sharepoint replacement for document sharing & collaboration
- Plone as a partner extranet
- Plone as a CRM lead-generation tool
- New Plone 4 & 5 features/examples
- Integrating Plone with web services
Connexions is a place to view and share educational material made of small knowledge chunks called modules that can be organized as courses, books, reports, etc. Anyone may view or contribute. Authors create and collaborate, Instructors rapidly build and share custom collections, and Learners find and explore content.
Prerequisite: This session is designed for new Plone users so there is no prerequisite. We do suggest that you attend all Plone KickStart Program on Monday, May 3rd to gain adequate knowledge of Plone to get the most out of the sessions that follow on Tuesday and Wednesday.
