Drupal in Education

I am creating a database where users can enter a course, the times it's offered, etc. I can do this using CCK and a custom node type, but I have a problem saying, for example that if the delivery type is distance than a class room and class time is not required.

6.x-4.0-BETA1 Has now been released. I am releasing this as beta as there have been major changes and additions and I think its stable enough for a beta. We still need help testing this before its implemented in a production environment. This is a rewrite of the 6.x-3.x branch. The major improvements are listed below:

* FTP Video Attach. (Ability to FTP all your videos at once and then attach the videos through a drop-down)
* FLVTool2 integration.

I just came across http://opensis.com/ - I don't have a current use for it, but at DrupalCon folks were wondering about whether Drupal could be made to do this sort of thing

My sense was that it wasn't a Drupal sort of thing to do - that using Drupal as a learning platform should be more "outside" this sort of function. BUT...if there were an OpenSIS module that connected student accounts to a Drupal site, that might make some sense to someone.

If anyone cares about this issue, comment?

Thanks,
Bram

Hello there,

im Izak stein, student of Technical uni. in Kosice. Next year i gonna finish my school with diploma work which is based on swaping our education system from moodle to drupalED system.

But there is a problem. We can not downloand drupalED from any site.

Anyone can help uz with that. Or is there any other option to how to make drupal education system. Is there something else common.

Thank for your reply.

Hi Everyone,

Here is a presentation I gave at the Berkeley Drupal User Group on Tuesday, and also will be delivering tonight at the South Bay LAMP meetup. It is basically a walkthrough on design and architecture decisions into current practices here at SF State.

Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged. Also, it's in Powerpoint format but I made it on Ubuntu using OO Impress, so let me know if there are weird formatting issues.

At DrupalConSF 2010 I was interested to hear how many campuses were providing Drupal hosting for their departments. Once common element of this is that many of us have created a collection of approved modules that we offer in sites/all/modules for our clients. I am interested in what modules you offer. I've created a spreadsheet here. If you care to add a column for your institution and rows for any modules not already listed, we might create a useful resource.

I would also like to learn about the following in this thread:

• Are clients allowed to add modules to their sites or does central IT approve all new modules requests?
• What is your criteria for module inclusion?
• Do you attempt to keep modules and core updated on all sites as security releases are issued? What is your procedure?

Since I haven't done any development work in Drupal to date, I thought I could contribute by listing some of the pertinent resources I have been exploring over the past year that seem to be part of "the solution" (if there is a single solution).

During one of the edu BOF's at drupalcon sf, a small group of us got together to discuss our needs for a lms (learning management system) powered by drupal. Various schools and groups seem to be doing pieces of this puzzle but we would all benefit from getting together to discuss further and hopefully create a solution that could work for more of us as an alternative to blackboard or sakai, etc.

We started a new group here on g.d.o. to help us organize. If this is something you have interest in, please head over and join!
