The goal of this project was the establishment of an online collaborative work and learning environment for a group of distributed learners in the Living Leadership, the Executive Leadership Program of the Canada School of Public Service.

The participants are executives from the public sector using the website to access information, documents and participant information. Each participant has a blog as well as a customized learning plan page maintained by the staff. The website is bilingual and features a calendar of events for the program. These elements were required to fulfill the Living Leadership Program’s blended learning needs.

This was one of the tightest time lines we've ever done - 11 days from start of development to deployment - but thanks to mature a Drupal core and contrib module selection, plus the Framework theme we were able to delivery on time and above expectations.
