Drupal News; What is Happening Out There?
Submitted by quackene on Tue, 11/22/2011 - 10:43As I have been working on my Drupal site, I have been contemplating how to add extra content that is related to the curriculum of this course. One way I have managed to expand upon my learning, is by reading some online news articles about Drupal. It is important to understand why we as students are learning how to create sites using Drupal. Looking at news articles helps put things in perspective.
Week Eleven Notes
Submitted by Dan Royer on Tue, 11/15/2011 - 17:54We have a number of important things to get done tonight.
I want to show you the grading rubric for the web analysis presentations and ask you to work with that guide in preparing your presentations.
You have drafts do of your web analysis project due tonight, so we can take a look at those and find ways to make them better. We'll also talk about how they should be posted on the website.
I also have peer review sheet to show you.
