Drupal in Education

This semester I've been involved in a research project at BYU studying the effects of using web2.0 tools powered by Drupal in the classroom (See http://isyscore.byu.edu/drupal). Now that our first semester with our pilot site is coming to a close, we're moving into the data gathering / analysis phase of research. To aid our research I've written a tool which let's an research easily categorize content created on a Drupal site.

I was finally able to figure out cvs and upload the writing_assignment module to drupal.org. Link is here:
http://drupal.org/project/writing_assignment

The code is the same as what I posted last week -- had a really busy week so no coding for me. But at least now there's a proper place for bug reporting/feature requests so have at em.

BTW, the code won't be available for up to 12 hours until Drupal's automatic package creator runs its course.

DrupalEd 5.4 is now out.

This new release incorporates a security upgrade. Although DrupalEd was not affected by the specific conditions that triggered this upgrade, upgrading core is strongly recommended.

This release also incorporates some recent module upgrades. For the full details, read the upgrade_notes.txt file available in the download.

Download DrupalEd here.

Need to remove the Subscribe Column from the Group list, (just setting the group to closed will not do) I've looked in the options and at as much of the code as I could that time will allow. Need to do this as soon as possible. anyone know where or how I can do this?
Thanks.

any assignment modules already available? I took a look at the quiz module - but that just seems too complicated for an average teacher.

If none available I am working on one with a very simple interface - either open ended questions or multi-choice questions. Everything is stored as a node - so you can create views etc.

If there is sufficient interest I may consider documenting it and publishing it up on drupal.

Or if you have any alternatives - please let me know.

thanks

Hello, all,

As part of some work we're doing, I put together a proof of concept leveraging the functionality within the FeedAPI and Views.

It's a pretty simple site -- all it does is bring in some selected feeds, import any existing tags, and add on some additional tags set on each feed as it is added to the site.

But it starts to get fun when you use views to organize the content based on author, taxonomy, etc --

I was also amazed at how quickly the site came together -- like I said, it's basic, but the basic config came together in about 6 hours.

Help! The blog is driving me nuts, I cannot get it to work properly! As a reminder, my site is set up with a small closed community. Everyone is set up to belong to the organic group for the entire school, plus the organic group for their particular grade. Nearly all of it works the way I want, except the principal's blog. I have it set up so that the blog entries are always in the All-School organic group, because we don't want the general public reading it and I don't see any other way to limit how the entries are viewed.

You excuse my English and the banal question. I installed Drupaled, I created the first account and after how I do to enter in the administration?
I have the necessity of important the Italian translation of the forms and other. How can I do? Thanks

I am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish the following and not having a great deal of luck yet. I was hoping some folks might give me their ideas on ways to proceed.
