Overview of this book

As social networks become more popular, their role in the classroom has come under scrutiny. Drupal offers a wide variety of useful tools for educators. Within a single Drupal site, you can set up social bookmarking, podcasting, video hosting, formal and informal groups, rich user profiles, and other features commonly associated with social web communities. "Drupal for Education and E-Learning - Second Edition" teaches you how to create your own social networking site to advance teaching and learning goals in the classroom, while giving you complete control over features and access. Communicate with students, share learning resources, and track assignments through simple tasks with this hands-on guide.In this book you will learn to install and configure the default Drupal distribution and then extend it to include blogs, bookmarks, a media sharing platform, and discussion forums. The book also covers how to organize your site to easily track student work on the site, and how to control who has access to that information. Additionally, it teaches you how to make the site easy to use, how to maintain the site, and how to ask for and receive help in the Drupal community.

About the Reviewers

János Fehér, since 1996, has been involved in a wide variety of projects, including technical support for NATO operations, development for a high-performance computing grid, national TV and radio websites, Learning Management Systems (LMS) for university, and adult learning, news, and government websites. He has been heavily involved with Drupal for more than 8 years and is the lead of the Hungarian localization team, contributor of quite a few modules and the Drupal Core. He is currently a Senior Software Developer at Capgemini UK.

Ron Simon started working with computers in the early 1970s while working toward his degree in Computer Sciences and Business Administration. Much has changed from that point of punch cards and Cobol program languages. Presently, he is working on building a large interactive Historical Database Website using Drupal to let the community contribute to the History of a place called "Beckmaze", which has a fascinating interaction of history, maps, and stories.

He has been an editor of many technical and historical books, including three books on Drupal and two on historical documentation.

He finds that our past does define the direction we are moving toward and that, if we study history, we can learn from the advice and mistakes our ancestors have left us for guidance toward our future.
