Drupal in Education

Hello,

I would love some feedback / discussion regarding security and the submission of online forms using sensitive data. I work for a small college and our website is hosting in a shared environment. There has been discussion about making the college application form, application for residence form and a few others available online. What tips / concerns can you provide to securely get the information from the user in an encrypted fashion?

My primary concerns are storage of private information on a shared server and emailing of private information in an unencrypted fashion.

We are seeking developers for immediate short-term (1-2 week) work, and occasional longer term on an open source Drupal-based student information system.

Seeking experts with skills including complex ahah form handling, views modifications, and custom module development.

Also seeking more junior developers who learn quickly.

Interest and experience working in open source online learning systems a big plus.

NYC-area preferred, but any location is suitable with the right qualifications. Drupal contributors preferred.

We are a stealth silicon valley startup for the educational industry currently working with drupal developers offshore. While they are a great team to work with, as we get closer to beta, late night meetings, communication delays and lack of cultural context is slowing down our release schedule.

They have finished about 90% of the work for beta. This is what I need . . .

I'm pleased to announce the fourth developer release of Eduglu. Download it at http://eduglu.com/download-eduglu

For this release, we've ported to Eduglu the excellent Notebook feature from Open Atrium, a Drupal-based intranet package. This is a great example of the power of open source development, that improvements to one branch of the Drupal family tree can easily shared and reused on another branch. Expect to seem more of this as the larger Eduglu/Drupal ecosystem grows.

Along with this major addition, there was the normal assortment of bug fixes plus small visual touch-ups.

Test Yourself is a Quiz add-on making quiz-taking more pleasant! It is a lot faster and it should look better than the default quiz theme.

The Alpha 1 version is only compatible with multichoice questions, and does not support all quiz features, but it is still useful and make self tests look and perform well.

The Eberly College of Science is seeking a highly skilled professional for the job of Online Education Technology Integrator. This job will report to the Director of Online Education with accountability to the Director of Information Technology.

Hi there

I'm looking for some advice on taxonomies and tagging.

I've got a main site taxonomy that users can add to and can select multiple terms.

This works well up to a point - I've been tagging stuff and have created blocks such as 'related events' which appear on pages that share the same taxonomy term.

Obviously there is a tipping point where you can end up with too many 'related items'. Events or news for example can be limited to those that are current.
