I am looking for a list of school based sites that use organic groups. Can anybody point in towards a few?

Best,
Matthew

Island at Brigham Young University

kyle_mathews - Mon, 2008-06-02 17:01

We've built one here at BYU at http://island.byu.edu

I can give you an account if you'd like to poke around and see how things are set up from the students perspective.

A professor and I are writing a paper on Island that'll be done in a few weeks. I'll post a copy on my blog and link to it from here when it's done.

Paper on Learning2.0 / Organic Groups

kyle_mathews - Tue, 2008-06-24 15:37

A professor and I have finished up writing the paper I mentioned earlier on this thread about our experience in using Drupal/Organic Groups to create a learning2.0 platform to facilitate the creation of communities of learners.

If anyone here would like a copy, shoot me an email.

Thanks,
Kyle Mathews

Starting point

billfitzgerald - Mon, 2008-06-02 17:19

The resources page is a starting point (although not all of these sites use OG): http://groups.drupal.org/node/1722/resources -- many of the sites here link to specific case studies -- Also, http://sp.glenview34.org/ uses OG

We recently developed writingmatters.org and teacherleaders.org -- both of these sites use OG extensively to support teaching and learning. If you are interested, feel free to get in touch -- we have copies on our dev servers, and I can show you through the backend. I'm also midway through writing up a case study on the teacherleaders.org site, as there is a pretty rich social infrastructure for site members in that site.

Depending on your goals for the site, often OG and taxonomy can be used for overlapping ends -- ie, groups can be used for site organization, as well as access control. It largely depends on your privacy needs, and your publishing workflow needs.
