More on Drupal in the classroom
a colleague knew i was thinking of switching to Drupal as my LMS this fall, so he sent me a link to a presentation by Tim Lindgren (of Boston College) on using Drupal as an Instructional Design Tool. The whole presentation is powered by Drupal, which is a nice change from the typical PowerPoint set of slides, especially if the thing is going to be posted on the Internet. This presentation provides a nice overview of Drupal, but the real value is that he provides 3 case studies demonstrating the use of Drupal in learning. Neat stuff. I appreciate that someone is sharing this information. I also plan to detail each step of the process as I begin work on my Drupal conversion later in July.
For what it’s worth, I am currently finishing up a quick 6 week course with my undergrads (Final next Wed.). I also have 13 thesis students and their chapter 1 was due earlier this week, which means I have a lot of reading on my plate. But, sometime next week I should be back here and able to contribute much more.
