Drupal in Education

I am not sure if this is the best place to ask about this, but I am getting a minor display bug in the "My Work" section. I have attached a screen shot with the problem areas circled in red.

As you can see several links are placed almost on top of each other. I imagine that this may be fairly simple to fix, but since I am very new to drupal I am not sure exactly where I should begin.

Any suggestions?

We are considering using Drupal or Drupaled for a site that would allow users to post new articles and form social networks. As part of the stories, users would be able to upload images and videos, etc.

We also want users to be able to form informal groups to work on news stories or projects that they are interested in.

Would Drupaled be a good platform for this type of site?

Thanks for any suggestions

From the longer post on the wiki page:

The DrupalEd project is now live on Drupal.org -- we are now ready to use the issue queue to centralize discussion on the different install profiles. In starting to discuss the profiles, I suggest we use the following format, as we will need to answer these questions as we build the various profiles.

Hi, is there a simple way to disable all the modules, menus, etc. and make DrupalED look like a new install of Drupal?

I would like to do this because I need to create a couple of forums right now on a new site, but I don't want to implement all the features, menus, etc of DrupalED?

After adding the forums, I would like to work with DrupalED in a local envirnoment and then upload to the host site at various phases of the project.

Is this possible or does it make managing the databases impossible?

thanks

Has anyone considered using civicrm within the DrupalED distro. Civicrm has some interesting features:

1. CiviMember define any number of membership types with different levels of access (Student, Parent, Teacher etc)

2. Relationships:Between Individuals, Households and Organizations (define any number of relationships: child-parent, child-teacher and child-group(class)

3.CiviEvent: Define any number of events

1. CiviContribute

5.Groups Management

Have a look http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/

I am using civicrm on my School Alumni website

Just a thought..

Hi All,

I've been working on phpEdu - a web-based educational management system for tertiary instituitions for years but early this year, started porting it to Drupal. Beta 1 is out and you may see it in action at http://www.phpedu.org.uk. Beta 2 is due for release very soon.

Modules written for phpEdu on the site include faculty, program, admission, courses (including course wishlist and registration), quiz( 3 question types) and assignment. Others planned include timetable(event), attendance, results etc

What are the current thoughts on Drupal-Moodle integration? Some folks were integrating Moodle into Drupal at least up to the Drupal 5 Beta. I'd greatly appreciate the thoughts of the Ed group on this. And more broadly, how the DrupalEd distribution will/should fit in with the OpenAcademic Moodle, Elgg, MediaWiki and Drupal integration.
