These problems stem from many reasons such as culture shock, new learning systems, money problems, language barrier, and so forth. It is just not easy for international students as people may think and such issues might put you at a considerable disadvantage to your fellow students.

Doubting between Drupal and Moodle - Experiences/advice asked. We received a grant to develop an open learning platform on anatomy, that will contain both repositories for anatomical data and learning functionality using these data. The anatomical data comprises images, separate terms, coordinates, folders with Google-maps-like image tiles, video, 3D data, etc., all to be multi-tagged. The learning functionalities are for instance quizzes, flash cards, 'drawing on image'-assignments, peer-review, ranking, competition, serious games, etc.

CyberCourse is a Drupal distro for authoring courses. It focuses on university skills courses, like programming, writing, and math. It makes flipped, blended, assessment-driven classes practical.

Students can fix and resubmit their work until they get it right. Supports mastery learning.

Hi all,

I'd like to let you know about two live online courses I'll be teaching.

We've done a great deal of work with Universities and have many people who work in educational attend our courses. We also have a new course designed for people who already have a Drupal site and want to maintain and take it to the next level.

Hi again folks, I teach 12th grade students at High Tech High Chula Vista.

DrupalCon Austin is still six months away, but I am curious:

a) Has there been any talk yet of a pre-conference higher ed summit? Larger than a BOF or meeting for dinner; I'm thinking more of an all-day thing.
b) If plans are not already in the works, would there be any interest in such an event?
