Drupal in Education

Hi
I am working on a school website, I was wondering how do I archive or unpublish all the content that was created in previous academic year and archive them separately.

Is there any way like creating a CCK field "academic year", then go to views to filter to show only "current academic year" nodes. But there are several views and therefore it doent not seem feasible to go and edit all those views and change the current academic year.

how do I do it without altering views every year?

I'll be attending the NECC conference in Washington, DC and would love to talk Drupal e-learning with anyone interested. I'll be available Sunday afternoon June 28 through noon on Wednesday July 1. Tweet me @drRod, or reply to this thread if you'd like to meet.

I'm an e-Publishing project manager at Cambridge University Press and a Drupal enthusiast. Luckily, those things have been coming together professionally for me lately. I've also spent about a decade on Chinese studies e-learning, but have focused on ESL for the past 4-5 years.

Hi

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not.

I have recently developed an integration with Drupal and Moodle which (after an enormous amount of tears, sweat, swearing and tantrums) is working well.

Moodle has, from a student's or course teacher's perspective, very good functionality. From a developers perspective though, it's a complete piece of junk.

From my searching, it appears that Drupal currently doesn't have the modules to provide the type of functionality that Moodle has. Is this correct?

The Drupal Design Camp Boston website is launched and we are getting ready for the June 13-14 event at MIT.

The attendee list is growing, and the sponsors are almost as excited as we are!

If you plan to attend, jump in at http://boston.design4drupal.org and sign up before it fills up completely.

Attendees can submit sessions, post to forums, join live chat on IRC, make small financial donations, and check out the latest News.

You can also follow us on twitter at D4DBoston. 

Here at CSU Monterey Bay we have a mandate from our Chancellor's office that all web content be accessible by 2010. This date is fast approaching, but we are moving towards a model where we automatically approve content for accessibility before it goes out to the web.

Hi All,

I'm in the process of producing a web-based tutorial for music students to introduce them to computer music making. I'd be very interested to see your comments and suggestions for improvements regarding the content, presentation & whatever really.

The site is Drupal 5 using Asset for media, Lightbox, Quiz amongst others.

Please don't tell me to upgrade to Drupal 6 - it's in the pipeline but not till the next funding round.

thanks in advance

Hi

I have an existing Drupal 5.16 site for our organisation. We have been looking at integrating Moodle to provide education services, but want to investigate using DrupalEd instead.

The reasons are:

1. Moodle replicates a lot of the functionality of Drupal so there is a large amount of redundancy (e.g. user accounts, events);
2. The Moodle API code is horribly written. It is fundamentally flawed, and possibly inherently insecure.

Is there a tarball package with the required modules for me to add DrupalEd to my existing site?

Thanks

Glenn
