Drupal in Education

Hello all,

I'm helping a technical university that is interested in teaching Drupal development courses. What's the best way to find information about classes being offered at different places (distance and face-to-face), sample course structures and the like?

Thanks in advance,

Leo

I am an instructor in an on-line course. When I use Quiz, I have to turn off the feedback setting because I do not want my students to see the feedback until ALL the students have taken the quiz.

I also use manual scoring to avoid having students see the correct answers before everyone has taken the quiz. But - when I use manual scoring I lose the ability to show students the correct answer. And when I turn off the feedback setting, I lose the ability to explain to the students why they got something wrong.

Is there a way to control the time when feedback is provided so that students see the feedback AFTER I've scored the quiz?

Is there a way for me to manually add comments and provide feedback when I'm scoring a quiz?

This afternoon I threw together a super simple embedded dictionary using WordReference.com. Nothing fancy just two options to set and a block you can put wherever you need that toggles to open an iframe to search definitions. Here's the code: https://github.com/markwk/embed_wr_dictionary

I thought it might be useful for some edu folks out there.

Hi there

I am setting up a small website to handle classes and grades. At the moment the process works as follows:

• create a new role: eg 'Grade 1 - 2011'
• allocate users to the role
• create a new node of type 'Class' (eg English). Select from the CCK field drop down the role that this class is for. Eg Grade 1 - 2011.
• all the users who have the role 'Grade 1 - 2011' are now part of the class 'English'. Users in a grade do not need to be split between different classes.

Cal State Monterey Bay is looking for a great team to help with a CRM project for managing student relationships. Our team is committed to Drupal; however, we just have so many projects that we need your help to get this one out the door!

We are expecting to release this project as an open-source install profile after we've tested it on our campus, and we hope that interested firms are equally excited to do work that will benefit both our campus and other universities and colleges as well.

• Embody best practices from learning science.
• Can be written and sold by individuals and small groups, without needing a publishing company.

I'm finishing up work on a network of sites that will likely be getting a huge amount of incoming users in the coming weeks. One thing I haven't included yet it is a way to provide feedback about issues and problems (I know there must be some :). I could use a simple contact form but I'm wondering some of the best approaches for getting user feedback and handling issues within Drupal. Thoughts?

So, I'm putting the final touches on AtriumED (sic) with a couple new OpenAtrium features additions:
-Quizlet Vocabulary: https://github.com/markwk/atriumed_quizlet
-Group Video Chat: https://github.com/markwk/atrium_opentok (using OpenTok's free Video Chat API!)
I hope to have a distro to share within the next week or so...

I am writing a module to create a custom iCal feed from a non-calendar content type. The calendar iCal feed view only attaches to calendar views. To simplify the process, I plan to use existing Calendar and Date functions to format my custom iCal feed, for example function template_preprocess_calendar_view_ical(&$vars). However, I don't have a good enough understanding of theme functions to know how to format $vars for the above function or even how to render content through the calendar_ical module theme.
