Welcome!

The course consists of modules containing information and practice exercises on how to update the content management system Drupal. At the end of the course, you will submit work to prove that you have achieved the course goals. When you have completed all the steps, you will have the knowledge and skills needed to edit pages on ki.se.

A manual, and additional support materials are posted on the pages about Web publishing.

This is how the process works:

In order for a Drupal account to be created and to receive editing rights, you must first log in to all the subsites of Drupal. You can do this here: https://staff.ki.se/training-and-account-in-drupal
When you log in for the first time, you will be able to edit your profile page and post news and calendar events for your group on the Staff portal.
Once you have read all the pages in the course, completed all the quizzes and tasks, and completed your certification, the course is complete.
Once the web team is notified that you have completed the course, we will check your work. If you need to make any changes to meet the required standard, we will contact you.
We will then extend your Drupal account access to include editing rights for all of the pages you are approved to work on. You (and your manager/head editor) will also receive a confirmation message that you have completed the course.

Help us to help you! Email us at webb@ki.se with any questions, comments or suggestions.

Remember:

To edit ki.se your manager must assign you editing responsibilities within the scope of your position.
You must be logged in to complete all parts of the course.
You must use a KI computer or a VPN connection to access the practice environment drupalkurs.ki.se. Read more about VPN at KI

What will I do during the course?

Read and review- The course consists mainly of short texts that explain the system. This information is also available in the web manual on the Staff Portal.
Test your skills - Complete the course exercises on https://kise.drupalkurs.ki.se/en and https://news.drupalkurs.ki.se/
Quiz - The quizzes are very short, and are designed to remind you of what you have been reading.
Certification - You will find the exercises in blue boxes on certain pages. At the end of the modules, check off everything you have done. The certification builds upon the exercises, so if you have completed them, the certification will be easy.

Completion time depends on your web publishing experience and how much time you have available to work on each section. Count on a day or so, plus the time needed for the web team to check your final certification exercise. You can pause at any time and continue another day.
