Open Education Drupalized
This past weekend, I converted Open Education from PostNuke to Drupal 4.1 using the conversion script posted by david@puntbarra.com.
Open Education's goal is to promote the creation, use and distribution of open content for education, specifically via Creative Commons licensed learning objects. If anyone is interested in participating in any of our workgroups, please register and post an introduction to the specific group.
I almost have everything configured the way I want it. What I've been able to do with Drupal, that I can't do with PostNuke, create a customized vocabularly such that each member can create an individualized blog listing, with each working group in the organization using a different term to tag their posts. There's also one for the whole membership. Then we are using the moderation system to promote items to the front page. Very nice way to organize an elaborate workflow via blogs. Put a lot of instructions and explanation into the site manual, too, using the Collaborative Book (much better than a wiki). Thanks Drupal!
My only wish is that forum topic posts could also be tagged by the categories that I created, instead of only being posted to the one that defines the structure. That way, I could monitor the forums, too, from one page
