Papers and Presentations - An evaluation of Drupal.org's website as an educational website

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 01:23:59 -0700

This paper was an exercise in website evaluation (Something we did, and wrote much about during the days of Web Techniques Magazine)

What makes this evaluation interesting (if at all), is the realization that it isn't so much the tools of Open Source projects, as much as the process, that can be of most benefit to K12 education.

While software developers have been quick to realize the potential of online collaboration as a powerful means of getting their work done, and have modelled the process in web sites that support open source projects, teachers are only beginning to realize this potential.

EastbaySchools.net was created to support my research into the potential use of Open Source tools in K12. As the former editor of Web Techniques Magazine during the Internet boom, I've learned much about the interworkings of the Net, and wish to bring some of that expertise to the classroom. I've written a few editorials on Open Source, while at Web Techniques, and more recently, about the potential use of the net as an enabling tool. I am also a contributing author to O'Reilly's Programming PHP
