Welcome
Connecting folks working with issues and challenges that are unique to Drupal in post-secondary academic environments.
History
This group has been founded as a result of DrupalCon San Francisco 2010, when it became obvious that there was a need for a place to extend the fruitful higher education-focused discussions that began there.

It comes with features that many editors want, such as Layout, Media, Workflow and Preview, while still being light-weight (you know, for Drupal).
