Eduglu session notes

  1. It's hard to build a quality social networking / social learning website in Drupal.
  1. Two aspects:
  1. Coding Drupal to do what we want
  2. Understanding human psychology well enough so social learning tools actually help.
  1. Drupal lends its self to community sites, but can be (nearly) infinitely adapted.
  1. It's hard to share learning tools we build with other learning groups. Related problem difficult to collaborate with others.

Common platform / common framework / common language for talking about problems /  use cases

what should a social lms be?

Need more learning tools [Be more specific below (expand the How Do You... outline)]

Tools aren’t packaged in distribution or otherwise easy to find / configure

Drupal as an LMS? Portal? Community manager? Academic administration? 3rd party tool integration?

How Do You Want to Use Drupal in Education?

Collaboration? [fits under social networking?] --> maybe like Etherpad (www.etherpad.com)?

Post a project to: innovation.edu.gov where we may win funding for these projects.
