Case Studies
Open University launches a community platform with Drupal
The Open University recently launched a platform based on Drupal.
The site is here: http://www.open.ac.uk/platform/
And a nice write-up of the site is here.
Adams 12 Five Star Schools (K-12) Case Study
Adams 12 Five Star Schools is very pleased to announce our newly-redesigned, SQL Server-powered Drupal Web site! Our site exemplifies the power and flexibility of Drupal. It is also speaks to the quality of community that helps develop, instruct, and support the Drupal project. Without this exceptional and active community, our site would not have been possible. We're continually working to improve our site and welcome your feedback. (Sorry for the delay, I had promised this write up a while ago but have just now had the time to put it together).

Case study: running a small college site with drupal
Hi folks,
I'm following up on promises I made during the Birds of a Feather sessions at Drupalcon Boston to post a case study of how we're using Drupal at Amherst College. We've developed a module to facilitate hierarchical content creation and permission control that's also of potential interest to folks outside of the academic community.
Preamble aside - about 3 years ago the college decided to fundamentally change the way it was approaching the web, and a little over 2 years ago we started building on top of Drupal. The project had some broad goals:
Learning Repository on Drupal
Hi all,
We at the JEM (Joining Educational Mathematics) have have been experimenting on how to build a Drupal 5.x based Learning Repository on basis top of some of the existing modules, our solution follows the guidelines of IMS LOM Specification.
Wiki pages for Public Education case studies, install profiles, etc.
Can we convert Drupal in public education ... discussion thread to wiki pages of case studies? I love the conversation, but find it a little hard to have to scroll top to bottom to see who has posted what. Would it be useful if we create a master wiki page for linking to all case studies and then create a wiki page for each case study? That way it would be easy to read through all of them.
Drupal in public education ...
Greetings!
By day I'm the Webmaster at a mid to large size public school system here in the USA (Frederick County Public Schools, MD). I'm curious to know how many of you out there in Drupal-land are implementing Drupal sites in the public education sector. Some specific questions:
1) Do you support it (server-wise) in house or do you host outside/off campus?
2) Do you host on VPS/dedicated or shared? Linux or Windows?
3) Do you run multi-site configurations?
4) How long have you been running Drupal sites?
Tools
The Annotation Field Module
I just saw this: http://drupal.org/project/annotationfield
From the description:
Want to highlight text, clip a video, or select a section of an image? This module is CCK nodereference on steroids. Annotation Field references not just a node, but a specific revision, field, and intra-field information (like a portion of text).
Diigo, Educational tool or best educational tool
If you've never herd of Diigo.com (as I haddn't before last week) then you should probably go and research it a bit. It's like delicious on steroids and integrated better then any product I've found yet. This has been posted on here because I've created a drupal in education group: http://groups.diigo.com/groups/drupal-in-education
