FAQ content
Per http://groups.drupal.org/node/20140 - it depends on whether all staff members are users and have profile pages or not. Most schools are not chock-full of technology-savvy administrators and teachers, so better to use "nodes" with CCK & Views, as recommended here.
However, if the staff members will be users, it's much better to treat them that way. See tutorial - http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/help/views/example-users-by-role
Per http://groups.drupal.org/node/21176 - offers some ideas.
I suspect that workflow + rules, particularly in the context of organic groups, would do the job much better.
Per http://groups.drupal.org/node/22919 - add a vocabulary as you create the work (or a role, as you create users) so you can mass-update (or mass-unpublish, or mass-delete) them. The Mass Tag module is great for this purpose.
http://groups.drupal.org/node/23045 has a great answer:
The rules module was the answer. It allowed for an action to happen when a user logs in the first time.
It depends on how "social" the learning is. If the learning communities are closed (learners only), and the activities are set (not a lot of creative input from students about what they get to do and how), then Moodle is great. Otherwise....
The quickest way: append /user to the URL - if it's a Drupal site you'll be able to log in.
If there is a subdomain (e.g. site.com/main) and the above test does not work, append /user after /main (e.g site.com/main/user).
If none of these work (the site might want to protect against spam) - try "contact" in place of "user" since most Drupal sites enable the /contact form.
Per http://groups.drupal.org/node/9447#comment-37063:
There are at least three major ways of integrating Google Calendar into a Drupal site.
-
Create a static page on your drupal site and embed the Google calendar in it, so it looks like the calendar is more or less natively hosted on your site.
-
Use the Calendar iCal module to subscribe to your Google calendar and have those events show up in your Drupal Calendar view
