DrupalEd is now ready to go:
This site can be used as an informal learning site where all users have comparable permissions, or as a more hierarchical learning environment with students, teachers, classes, and working groups.
Some of the functionality within this site includes:
- a personal workspace;
- a group workspace;
- the ability for site members to create informal working groups;
- the ability to create formal class spaces;
- a podcasting platform;
- a WYSIWYG text editor;
- wiki functionality;
- personal and class blogs;
- rss feeds for the entire site, individual courses, individual terms, and individual users;
- personal image galleries;
- personal file repositories;
- the ability to create private, invitation-only groups;
- social bookmarking, with searching within bookmark descriptions;
- spam protection;
- assignment calendars by course;
- event calendars for site-wide events;
- configurable user profiles with searchable text descriptions;
- the ability to create lists of "friends" among site members;
- the ability to find the missing sock in the dryer.
The goal of this site is to create a flexible framework that allows for users to set up a social learning environment or a more traditional learning environment depending on the needs of the learners within the site. With this current framework, both approaches are supported.
