Drupal in Education

I'm putting the finishing touches on a module that I think might be quite useful in some educational situations, namely Quizlet http://drupal.org/project/Quizlet

It basically uses Quizlet's API (for those that don't know, Quizlet.com is one of the largest vocabulary sites around on the net) to search and add quizlet lists to your Drupal 6 site. Once added, it provides a simple javascript "flashcard" system for reviewing words.

There's a live demo at http://quizlet-for-drupal.int3c.com

I've been having a conversation via email with a bunch of higher EDU drupal developers which I'm sick of just talking about so let's make it happen: A Drupal in Higher Education Consortium. The goal of this isn't some kind of bloated, formal relationship but instead a series of lightweight tools across different websites (this one included) in order to help each other through problems we face.

I've setup a COD (conference organization distro) for a yearly environmental conference that works quite well in general. Unfortunately, the group I made this site for is transitioning from a simple HTML site with most changes being uploaded as pdfs via ftp. Traditionally they do most of their changes and communications via documents and files. Instead of providing ftp access, what modules or setups provide a good, safe and clean UI for Files and Documents Organization?

Thanks...

Hi,

I'm a one-person web shop at a small University located in the Southeast US. Our site is built on a RHEL 5.3 using Drupal 6.22 -- we host our own server, and it's been running great for the last 3 years.

We're a small school, and our IT department is outsourced. The contract we have with this company -- wait for it -- offers NO support for our web site! Therefore I'm Web Developer/ Webmaster / System Admin / Security Expert / DBA / etc. for the web. I am not trained in security or system admin and have basically been relying on a RedHat support subscription. However they don't cover the "AMP" part of LAMP, nor security for Drupal, nor anything Drupal, etc.

Well, my site got hacked recently, and one web page was vandalized. The school is now freaking out, and the IT dept is under the gun to provide security and maintenance for the web site. However, they only support Windows servers. I really don't want to go to a Windows server environment, but it may be happening unless I can provide reasons not to.

Hi. I am creating an E-Portfolio. At this moment in time, all of my pages are created with Profiles2. This made it easy to create pages where the user could upload and edit their information. So at the moment, the user can create their profile, resume, and create an image gallery. What I would like is a button which says create portfolio, and it will take all of these pages and display them within one neat page. Is there are module which would allow me to do this or what would the best approach be?

Many thanks

Hi. I am having a bit of trouble with views in drupal 7. I have created a Content Type which expects a user to input data into fields. I then choose views from the structure menu, and I add a new view. I give it a name, and under Create A Page, I give it a title, path and set the format to
Grid of Fields
I then create a Menu link.

On the next page, the Views UI, I go to the fields section and add field. I tick everything that relates to my Content Type e.g. Content: First Name
Appears in: node:introduction

Where introduction is my Content Type.

Hi guys, I might be overly optimistic in my quest but I'm hoping that they might be some community wisdom out there that might guide me away from "known" dead-ends. I have Course and Lesson content in the form of (illustrative) images and (narrative) audio along with durations. I have been investigating how I might automatically format and present that to authenticated users.
