Drupal in Education

Is anybody out there using Drupal for building e-portfolios?

I was at a Mahara conference recently and attending a talk about LEAP2A (http://wiki.cetis.ac.uk/LEAP2A_specification) a new interoperability spec. Efforts to make it compatible with RDFa are underway and I was wondering if anybody from the Drupal side would be interested in joining in the discussion.

Would like to hear from anyone who has used Drupal to create a campus tour for your college or university. We are getting ready to revamp our dusty old online tour, and I'm trying to think of an interesting way to use Drupal to accomplish this. I'm thinking along the lines of a slideshow but with interactivity (e.g., "click here to see a video about this facility").

Hi,

I am building a Drupal 6 website for my amateur radio emergency service club. One of our key missions is training (educating) others, so I am trying to build a useful online resource for our members, and others who visit our site. I have built several stand alone drupal sites, before but am now branching out into group sites. In this case we have several groups linked by location (e.g. a specific city) or interest. I need advice in planning a few key features.

Hello!

I'm curious - is there a good (and ideally easy) way to incorporate tagging of comments?

I'm thinking D6 here. Is node comment a good way to go? the only way to go?

Has anyone been down a similar road before? Any pitfalls?

Looking forward to any tips you might have!

Thanks!

My Scenario: I have a triggered rule set up with an Event type of "User account has been created." The trigger has a condition of "User has Role." The argument is a "registered user", and the role is a "teacher."

I also have ldap setup to allow the teachers to login.

My problem: when a teacher first logs in (for instance), they are in the correct group according to LDAP, but the "User has Role" inside of the rules module doesn't recognize this, therefore the trigger/action never happens.

I've been talking to a few University / College types lately and been asking them one thing -- If a group existed that was dedicated towards Drupal for Universities, would you be interested? Thus far the few that we've pitched this idea to have been very receptive. I posted recently about this idea of a Drupal for Universities Consortium to try and get some feedback / discussion from the rest of the community.

Hello everyone,

I am the co-founder of the Mediabird Study Notes software, which is an extension to existing LMS.

Mediabird is a collaborative online notepad that allows small study groups to collaboratively work on shared notes at any time. It is not only possible to extend notes or edit them at the same time but in particular Mediabird allows users to annotate notes and ask questions about them. With that respect, Mediabird combines the ideas of a wiki and of a forum but is not as public as a wiki and relates questions to the notes rather than separating them as done in a forum.

Hello Friends,
