education

A quick browse through many public-facing websites at the University of Prince Edward Island reveals a growing trend: UPEI has been converting many of its existing websites to Drupal.

Hi,

I have recently secured a one year secondment to the post of e-learning facilitator within my institution and have dug out some old elearning content i developed in my own CMS a number of years ago. I have converted these to work in Drupal and would like feedback on them, maybe with a view to releasing the modules into the community if they prove useful.

Finally, almost a year later than I'd hoped, I moved http://bohemica.com, the website for students of Czech language and culture over to Drupal 5.1. It is built primarily using CCK, Views and Panels (but Amazontools, Gallery, Paypal, and others are also an important feature). I did use the quiz module in one place but it's not quite what I need (http://www.bohemica.com/quizes/aboutczechsandczechrepublic/essentialczec...). I was hoping I could convert the old exercise system (see http://tuit.glottalstart.com) into a Drupal module but didn't have the resources. Feedback welcome.

DrupalEd is now available for download --

The full announcement is available here --

I'm delighted to announce the release of phpEdu beta2.

You can now install the modules just like any other Drupal module. Please, this is for people who are interested in looking at ongoing work. Things are bound to change at anytime. Download if from: http://www.phpedu.org.uk/public/phpedu-beta2.tar.gz Install and try. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. You'll need to grab some contrib modules eg activeselect, user_readonly, og.

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

The Gradebook and OG_Gradebook modules have FINALLY been ported to Drupal 5. They are still marked development and need massive of testing. Please feel free to try it out and submit bugs and features requests.

I've just come across the fantastic software for social bookmarking for academics Connotea (see http://www.connotea.org) and started thinking about the many great projects out there which we could either learn from or integrate into Drupal. Of course, there are some obvious candidates such as Moodle, Elgg, Gallery2 that we all know about. But what about services such as Shelfari or LibraryThing? So I thought I'd start a thread where we could talk about what others are doing and how we can benefit from their hard work.

For those who haven't spotted it yet and are interested in learning more about Drupal programming, including how to navigate the twists and turns of CVS, check out the Drupal Dojo group. <a href="/user/429>joshk with the help of some notable Drupal developers has been putting on screencasts with Skype audio conferencing to provide a real classroom experience. The classes are being archived as video files and in written notes.

Sorry, drupalistas, but this is a goodwill project for NYC teachers. Coquille, my good friend/teacher/activist wants to create a really really simple site to teach other NYC teachers how to recycle. By law the schools are to recycle, but the school system refused to educated nor provide supplies for recycleing. So enter my friend, armed with a dozen or fellow teachers to do data input and create content. They need something simple that will be functional and hopefully get a bit of press (IE... free advertisement for you.)

I'm just the connector here... So please be nice. ;)

I'm looking to create a website to encourage recycling in NYC schools. I'd like the site to start with teacher and student-generated content created by our school, with the idea that our resources/recycling system could be easily replicated in other schools. Eventually, other schools could join in authoring content. Currently, few schools are recycling in NYC, which is totally frustrating because it's the law and, more importantly, the right thing to do.
