I'm so excited to find out about this group! I could just squeal :-)

I have talked with @hedley and he gave me the go-ahead to post about a Kickstarter campaign that is aimed at creating Teach Yourself Drupal, a free and totally open source Drupal learning resource.

Please check it out and back it for any amount. Spread the word!

I will be working with @hedley to see how we can combine our efforts and use the funding from the campaign to serve the overall initiative.

We have created a module for holding exams using Drupal, Quiz and Organic Groups:

http://drupal.org/project/exam

From the project page:

Enables you to use your Drupal site to hold exams. Integrates with the Organic Groups module so that all group members will be put into exam mode when the time for exam arrives. In exam mode the users can only access a predefined set of pages in a predefined order, and all blocks are hidden except those you want to be visible in exam mode. Exam pages are only visible when taking exams.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

However, connecting our expert teachers to eager students around the globe can be a complicated business. To that end, we are excited to release our new internal learning platform, CloudCourse under an open source license. Built entirely on App Engine, CloudCourse allows anyone to create and track learning activities. CloudCourse also offers calendaring, waitlist management and approval features.

Thoughts?

Alright, so I'm not sure if this is the place to start but I am. I'm looking for feedback to a concept that's currently being kicked around my office. Every summer starts the "what neat thing can we give back to Drupal and improve our courses" discussion and this was the concept that I came up with this year. I'm trying to gauge what the interest level would be if I were to integrate this as a quiz question instead of just my purely stand-alone implementation that I had originally conceived:

Here's the use-case:
* You want to quiz / self-check students on a concept

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.

So I showed off a veerrrryyy brief presentation of ELMS and the Assignment Studio yesterday but we're working on A LOT of other projects / related projects. So, tonight around 7pm some of us are going to meet up to discuss ELMS and our initiatives at PSU in greater detail. The hope of this discussion is to try and get edu focused developers excited about this direction and start coming up with an attack plan for future development. This product will be available on drupal.org as soon as it's legal (http://drupal.org/project/elms just a name space at the moment and small description).

Hi everyone. I've been working for several months now on a new social learning module for Drupal called “Writing Assignment.” This module will make it simple for a teacher to assign students to write on a topic and then for the writing to be read, commented on, and rated by other students. I think the code is to a point where I can show it to other people and not feel too embarrassed :>

La primera inquietud que les presento es la siguiente:

he considerado la idea de realizar una migración de un ambiente didáctico en Moodle hacia Drupal, de tal forma que cada curso (más de 60 en total) sea un "blog" como un subdominio. Por ejemplo:

curso01.ejemplo.com

Die Quellen meiner Drupal Weisheit.

Alles auf ausländisch, sorry.

There are several discussions about integration of Drupal, Moodle, Elgg, aTutor and so on.

The questions:
- Is there a common user database?
- Which software is integrated in which (Drupal in Moddle or Moodle in Drupal)?
- Is this a real integration or only a synchronisation of user accounts?
- Which version works which version?

The current solutions are very version specific and specialized. A huge disadvantage is, that they are not using a common user database: They are only synchronising the user accounts.

As it doesn't make sense to integrate Drupal into Moodle, the question (not only Moodle specific) is: "How do I integrate other web-applications into Drupal?". In fact: "How do I use the Drupal user database from outside?".
