Dries Day November 19th, more info at http://www.facebook.com/driesday
There's Earth Day for the planet and now there's Dries Day for Drupal. To celebrate, we're asking everyone in the community to spend the day on Drupal community projects: plan a camp, do a training, work on modules, push code, write documentation, read about Drupal 8 or whatever you find interesting. This is not a bad price to pay for all the great stuff in Drupal. If you're an employer, we encourage you to give your employees a paid day to work on Drupal.
It's simple to participate:

The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher and Education has started the process of implementing a humongous 4 year e-learning project covering private, UN and last but not least public schools in Palestine.

Appreciate your feedback, on the pros and cons of Drupal for such a task as well as assistance on certain modules that prove themseleves and can make our efforts a success.

What are the core needs?
I'd like to see more on this topic as CBT/WBT can mean different things to different people. From an instructional design point of view, creating content in the form of Drupal Book entries is already a capability used throughout Drupal.org. However, it is not an ideal way of presenting training -- and ther is no current way of assessing student achievement.
Perhaps we should take elements of one or more popular LMS available (Moodle, for example) and ask, what fetures are overkill for our purposes and what features are absolutely critical.
