Drupal in Education

Finally, almost a year later than I'd hoped, I moved http://bohemica.com, the website for students of Czech language and culture over to Drupal 5.1. It is built primarily using CCK, Views and Panels (but Amazontools, Gallery, Paypal, and others are also an important feature). I did use the quiz module in one place but it's not quite what I need (http://www.bohemica.com/quizes/aboutczechsandczechrepublic/essentialczec...). I was hoping I could convert the old exercise system (see http://tuit.glottalstart.com) into a Drupal module but didn't have the resources. Feedback welcome.

Get release 5.2-1 here.

From the upgrade notes included in the release:

This upgrade is in response to the CCK security announcement.

While this security upgrade only affects a specific use of CCK that is not present in the DrupalEd configuration, anyone running DrupalEd is strongly advised to upgrade. A healthy dose of paranoia regarding security concerns can save you hours of time/emotional distress.

I am making a school intranet site. I would like to have a place where the office can store many of its files/documents for the staff to have access to. Now, if we want a form we have to go to the office and the office is covered with forms. It would nice at a central location. Are there any recommendations on a module to use for this purpose?

What would be the best calendar for the staff to keep adding information to-- a central calendar?

Okay, now the teacher in me is challenging the tech geek within . . . and the teacher side has me stumped. Drupal was the perfect way for our school district to create and group edit our course curriculum maps. The book module is great for managing this collaborative effort where teachers can comment on the map and school curriculum specialists can make adjustments dynamically based on the comments. Of course I always want more to make the process more in line with our needs . . . thus the tech question. Is their a way to select from alternate forms when "Adding a child" page to the book?

I want to create a view that has at least a couple of tabs. For example: the first tab might say "headlines" and the other might say "recent stories". I am not sure how to do this.

You can see something like this on www.nowpublic.com.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This may be an easy one, but I can't seem to find any information on editing the course pages. I was hoping to edit(or enable) paging options for the river of news...They aren't views and thats about as far as my knowledge of drupal goes...A point in the right direction?

Thanks

I am going to try again with a more concrete question.

Much of my site will involve drill-down scenarios, from pre-populated MySQL tables, like the following. There is a db table of "sections" of a university course. There is another table of "students". The two tables are linked by a third table of "section assignments".

Hi all,

I have three whole weeks of aquaintance with Drupal, and one day's acquaintance with Drupaled. I have a site to build, for an academic programme, and am going to take the plunge and use this platform. I don't yet know much about "drupaled culture", so let me just ask a question about asking a question:

Are things at the point where it makes any sense to describe, fairly briefly, the dimensions of a project, and get feedback on how best to implement it with the Drupaled release as a starting point? Or is this the wrong time for such detail? Or the right time but the wrong forum?

Hello, all,

We have created a maintenance release of DrupalEd. This is not a security upgrade; this release only updates the existing code.

I was going to get a release together in June, but there was talk on the dev list of a possible 5.2 point release. When that release never came about, we decided to move forward with this maintenance release of DrupalEd.
